Please note that the Counseling Office will observe summer hours – Monday – Thursday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM from May 14, 2012 until August 2, 2012.

The Accuplacer College Placement Test is offered in Student Services. The test consists of four sections and assesses a student’s achievement level in reading comprehension, sentence skills, arithmetic, and elementary algebra. The Accuplacer test is not a timed test and it is administered on a computer.

If the scores place the student into developmental course work (courses numbered below 100), the student must complete the developmental course work before enrolling in college level English and/or math courses.

The Accuplacer test is administered Monday-Thursday during the summer. Applicants must make an appointment to take Accuplacer and can do so by calling 828. 627.4607. There is no fee for the test. An on-line study guide is available on the HCC website. Tutoring is available to prepare for the placement tests in the Teaching and Learning Center and Adult Education Department.

Credits earned in developmental courses do not count toward the required number of semester hours for graduation. Accommodations for testing are available for students with disabilities. Contact the Disability Counselor at 828.627.4504 in advance if accommodations are required.

After testing, the student will meet with a member of the Student Services staff to discuss test results. If an applicant scores within the 75 percentile on the Accuplacer, one retest for each section will be permitted. After a two-week period of reviewing the basic skills for those sections, the student may request a retest. Applicants must make appointments to retest by calling 828.627.4607.
