Find Your Way With ACCUPLACER

To ensure that students are proficient in the skills necessary to successfully complete general education coursework, student competencies in reading, writing, and math are evaluated by ACCUPLACER. All incoming, degree-seeking students or students wishing to enroll in Math or English courses must provide valid placement scores. To be valid, the student must have taken a placement test within five years of the date of initial enrollment. The results of these assessments, in conjunction with your academic background, goals and interests, are used by academic advisors and counselors to place you in the appropriate college courses that meet your skill level.
 

For all students without valid ACT scores, the ACCUPLACER (computerized placement test) will be used to determine placement in Writing and Math courses. The ACCUPLACER tests (math, reading, and writing) are not timed and can be taken separately; however, if you are planning on taking all three tests in one session, you should schedule the ACCUPLACER test to allow yourself enough time to complete all three tests.
