Policy
All new matriculating (degree/certificate seeking) students are required to take a placement test (Accuplacer, LOEPS, or other appropriate tests) to measure proficiency in English, Mathematics, and overall college readiness. Students are then advised to register for the appropriate courses based on their placement test results. Students should note that developmental courses do carry college credit, but do not fulfill requirements for graduation.
Procedure
The placement tests are administered several times a week and can be scheduled by calling the Welcome Center at 617-984-1722 or Plymouth at 508-747-0400. In order to take a placement test, students are required to have a picture ID , which can include a valid high school or college ID, driver’s license, passport, green card, or state ID#. Scores and placement will be provided to students at the conclusion of the exam along with the placement rubric. Scores are only available to the student and to certified Accuplacer proctors/administrators.
