      Hi Carla! You have come to the right place to ask. On the HETS Virtual Plaza under the Student Placita menu, you will find the access to those services.
      To practice the admission tests, get prepared with e books, and more go to the Testing and Education Reference Center. Once you click on Lehman College’s account, you will need to enter the passcode that has been sent to the email provided on your request. If you need further assistance, you may contact the HETS office at 787-250-1912 extensions 2372, 2373 or via email to: info@hets.org.
