  • The Accuplacer is an assessment to help determine what classes you should take at SCTCC.
  • If you have taken the ACT test or have previous college-level coursework, you may not need to take the Accuplacer.
  • Some of the ways for students to be exempt from taking the Accuplacer include previous Accuplacer scores, qualifying scores in the ACT, MCA or SAT tests, and completed General Education level coursework. Review the Accuplacer Testing Requirements to find out if you can be exempt from taking the Accuplacer.
  • Learn more about the Accuplacer at sctcc.edu/accuplacer.

*After you submit your application, the Admissions office will review your application and send you a Next Steps letter that outlines whether you need to take the Accuplacer for course placement or if you are accepted into your program.

  • Watch for a letter and email discussing eOrientation and meeting with an academic advisor to register for courses.
  • eOrientation is an online orientation that walks you through important information that will prepare you to register for classes and be successful at SCTCC.
  • Once you have completed eOrientation, you will sign up for a date and time to meet with your academic advisor to register for courses.
  • Appointments can be done either via zoom or in person.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you attended institutions within the Minnesota State system, we are able to access these transcripts electronically so there is no need to request an official transcript.  If you attended institutions outside of the Minnesota State system, you will need to request an official transcript directly from the institution(s) you have previously attended and have them sent to SCTCC.

After you apply to SCTCC and submit your official transcripts, the Records and Registration Office will review your transcripts and transfer in the courses that apply to your major. If you would like to know how your credits will transfer before you apply to SCTCC, you can set up an account with www.transferology.com. Transferology is a multi-state, web-based transfer information system that provides you with fast and accurate course and transfer equivalency information.

Your credits will be evaluated after your admission to SCTCC is complete and we have received all transcripts.
