Since 1983, the ACT Compass® program has been instrumental in helping educators place students in college-level courses. During this time, course placement needs among students and the institutions who serve them have shifted significantly. A thorough analysis of customer feedback, empirical evidence, and postsecondary trends led us to conclude that ACT Compass is not contributing as effectively to student placement and success as it had in the past. Based on this analysis, as part of the ACT commitment to continuous improvement, we have made the difficult decision to phase out all ACT Compass products (ACT Asset, Windows Compass, and eCompass) by December 31, 2016.
ACT eCompass:
- ACT eCompass will be available for testing through November 30, 2016. Data will be available via ACT eCompass through December 31, 2016.
ACT Asset, ACT Windows Compass:
- ACT Asset and Windows Compass versions will be available for testing through November 30, 2016.
- ACT Asset materials will be available for ordering until November 1, 2016.
Unit Pricing:
- All unit pricing will remain at the FY15 rates through November 30, 2016, at $1.55 per unit (volume discounts available).
The ACT Compass Team will share more information with you as it becomes available. We will do our very best to assist you through this transition.
