Residency documents must be completed and submitted before you can proceed with the Steps to Enroll.

5. Complete a Placement Test

You must complete the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) or the Postsecondary Education Readiness Test (PERT) before beginning most career and technical certificate programs at Seminole State. The TABE and PERT are offered on a walk-in basis in the Assessment and Testing Center on any Seminole State campus. For testing hours, study guides and practice exams, visit the Assessment and Testing Center online or call 407.708.2020.

If you have already taken the TABE or PERT, an official copy of your scores must be on file with the Seminole State Records Office before your advising appointment.
