What is the ACCUPLACER?
If you are a student wishing to enroll in a certificate or degree program, you may be required to complete the ACCUPLACER assessment in English, Reading, and Mathematics, The Colorado Community College and Occupational Education System (of which ACC is a member) has determined this policy. Assessment helps you and your advisor select courses appropriate for your educational background and in the long term will help you succeed in college. Please visit the ACC Testing Center Web page for further information about testing times, location, and cost. If you are unsure as to whether or not your program has a ACCUPLACER requirement, please consult an Academic Advisor.
