Placement Testing

Testing Center · Room A-164 · ext. 2274

New students in credit programs complete placement testing in reading, writing, and mathematics before advising. Placement is by ACCUPLACER. Testing is by appointment with the Testing Center Coordinator, Doreen Stapp, ext. 2274. Bring a current government-issued photo ID. The test is untimed.

Waivers

Placement testing is waived, in whole or by subject, on submission of:

• ACT or SAT scores meeting the Ohio Remediation-Free Standards, taken within the previous five years;
• college-level English or mathematics completed with a grade of C or better at an accredited institution;
• an associate or higher degree from an accredited institution; or
• ACCUPLACER scores from another institution, taken within the previous two years.

Waiver documentation is sent to the Office of Enrollment Services, Room A-104. Placement testing is not required for clock-hour programs.

Retesting

Charges restate the Schedule of Charges, which governs. Scores are valid for two years. Students are encouraged to review with Tutoring, Cyril Mbeki-Hoyt, Room A-162, ext. 2276, before retesting.

Results

Students placing below college level enroll in developmental coursework (ENG 0910, MAT 0910, MAT 0920) before the corresponding general education course. Students within one band of the cutoff may be placed in a corequisite section. Developmental courses do not carry credit toward any award. They are charged at the same per-credit-hour rate as credit-bearing courses and are included in the satisfactory academic progress calculation and in the attempted-hours limit for financial aid.

Accommodations

Testing accommodations are arranged through Disability Services, Grace Timmen, M.Ed., Room A-134, ext. 2144, before the testing appointment is scheduled.
