Placement Testing
The Accuplacer College Placement Test is offered in Student Development Services. The test consists of four sections and assesses a student’s achievement level in sentence skills, reading comprehension, mathematics, and 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 given Monday-Thursday at 9:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., and 4:00 p.m. Applicants must make an appointment to take Accuplacer and can do so by calling (828) 627-4503. 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.

The biology and chemistry placement tests will be offered on Friday mornings at 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. Students must make appointments for prerequisite testing and may do so by calling 627-4503. Students may take the prerequisite placement test only once therefore, students are encouraged to take their time and do their best.
General Information about Placement and Prerequisite Placement Testing
If the scores place the student into developmental course work, the student must complete the developmental course work before enrolling in college level English, and/or math courses (courses numbered 100 or higher). If required, students must also complete BIO 094 and/or CHM 090 prior to enrolling in college levels courses.
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 Coordinator of Counseling located in Student Services 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.
