Academic placement testing (ACCUPLACER) is a required enrollment step for new, degree-seeking students. All students are encouraged to take this test to ensure that with the help of an adviser they register for the correct classes. The ACCUPLACER placement test is available to all current TMCC students and who provide valid government issued photo identification. ACCUPLACER is a prerequisite for placement into English and math classes. If you have ACT or SAT scores that are less than two years old, or grades from prerequisite classes can be used instead.

All tests, unless otherwise specified, can be taken on the Dandini Campus, Red Mountain Building, V. James Eardley Student Services Center, room 121. Please consult the list below to determine if an appointment is needed for a particular test. Students taking test on a walk-in basis must be in the testing center by 3:30 p.m. The testing center will close at 5:00 p.m.

Students will receive a paper copy of their ACCUPLACER placement test scores immediately after completing their exam. These scores will take up to three business days to post to their student account. Please keep your copy of the ACCUPLACER/placement testing transcript.
