Computerized Placement Test (CPT)

The CPT is given during the times listed below on a walk-in basis.  You do not need to register for this test.  A fee of $5.00 is required and must be paid prior to taking the test.  The fee is paid at the bookstore or business office.   Bring your paid receipt and photo identification to Room 61 in the Student Union East.  Although the test is not timed, allow yourself at least 1 1/2 to 2 hours to complete all portions of the test.  The test consists of a mathematics portion, a reading portion, and an English grammar portion.  Calculators are not allowed; pencils and scrap paper are provided.  The placement test can be taken twice a semester and the scores are valid for two years. An application for admission to the college must be turned in to the Office of Admissions and Records before taking the test. The times listed are when a student may BEGIN the test. For example, 8:00 - 2:00 pm means that a student must begin the test between 8 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon.
