PLACEMENT TESTING
First time college applicants who apply to enter an Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree or a college credit certificate program must have taken a placement test prior to the completion of registration. Initial enrollment in English or math courses for any student requires placement scores no more than two years old. Non-degree seeking students desiring to enroll in English or mathematics courses also must have been tested.

The College accepts scores on the ACT, SAT, or Florida College Entry Level Placement Test (CPT) Form A, or any other state approved placement tests that are no more than two years old. These test results are used for placement, counseling, and transfer requirements for some upper division institutions, scholarship eligibility, and research.

Placement testing is available at the College for applicants who have not been previously tested or whose scores are no longer valid. Students may obtain information and application form from the Counseling Center.
