What Are Accuplacer Placement Tests?

Accuplacer tests assess your readiness for college-level courses, ensuring you are placed in classes that align with your skill level to support your academic success.

Who Needs to Take the Test and When?

  • Must be completed within 30 days of accepting your offer of admission and at least 14 business days before Summer Welcome Days.
  • Mandatory for students applying or admitted as Test-Optional.
  • Required for certain majors (see tables below).
  • First-Year Students: Your academic advisor automatically creates your first-semester schedule but cannot do so until your placement test scores are received.
  • Transfer Students: You cannot register for courses until your academic advisor has your placement test scores.

Important: Testing Services does not waive any placement testing requirements. Any exemptions are based on official electronic transcripts or score reports sent directly to É«ÀÇÉçÇø Admissions and/or É«ÀÇÉçÇø Registrar's Office.

Why Are They Important?

  • Accuplacer is not a pass/fail test—your results guide course placement.
