If you do not see the Assessments option in the Admin Tools, this means you do not have the Curriculum Administrator role assigned to your profile. To add the correct role to your account you will need to have access as an Organization Administrator. Organization Administrators can refer to the Add Roles to an Existing User article for steps on adding the correct roles to user accounts.
