Placement Testing
ACCUPLACER® computerized placement tests are administered for math, sentence skills and reading comprehension. Placement testing is required for all new full-time students prior to registering for classes. These tests are untimed and require only the ability to use a keyboard and a mouse. The results of the tests are used in planning the most appropriate first-semester schedule of coursework for you.
