Placement Testing (ACCUPLACER)
|
All students initially registering for college-credit courses
at Belmont Technical College must complete a four-part placement
test (reading, writing skills, numerical skills, and elementary
algebra). Placement test scores will determine placement into
Basic Skills courses of mathematics, grammar, writing, and reading
prior to degree-track offerings. (See specific course prerequisites.)
Placement testing is done on a scheduled basis and scored immediately.
Phone the Charles W. Kocher Student Success Center at (740) 695-9500 ext. 1080 or(800) 423-1188 ext 1080 to register. Students wishing to retest immediately
are subject to a $15 retest fee.
Students who must take a placement test are:
- Full-time

- Part-time having accumulated 18 or more hours of Belmont
Technical College credit.
