Accuplacer

Students who have been accepted to SCTCC and received a student checklist from Admissions advising them of the Accuplacer test(s) they are required to take, will be able to schedule their Accuplacer testing here. Students will need the checklist that was mailed to them when they schedule the appointment.

Students who have not applied to the college or received an acceptance letter will not be able to schedule an appointment at this time.

All students are required to take the Accuplacer Assessment test. The tests that are offered include Reading Comprehension, ESL Reading, Arithmetic, Elementary Algebra and College Level Math. When scheduling a testing appointment, students will need their Student I.D. (Tech I.D.) number located on the enrollment documentation they received in the mail. We encourage students to practice before taking this exam. Click here for search results to "Accuplacer practice online."

Any student wishing to have scores from another Minnesota State campus reviewed must provide the Admissions office with a copy of their results or notify Admissions that they are testing at another Minnesota State campus. Any student who has college credits in Reading and Writing intensive General courses and/or Math may be exempt.
