NEW AND IMPROVED ACCUPLACER PLACEMENT TESTING:

A new and improved version of Accuplacer will be in effect beginning October 15th.  This new version of Accuplacer offers many features that make the system more user-friendly for the administration of the test itself but changes little in regards to the student (test taker) perspective and information provided for advisement purposes.

Those that have worked with students, who have completed the Accuplacer Test, are most likely familiar with a results packet filled with multiple-colored sheets containing the student’s test results, recommended placements, and other information that is important to our students.  This information will remain in the new reports but will have a different look (See attachment).  No longer will it be a multi-colored packet but rather plain white pages of paper with the information most pertinent to where the student is in the enrollment or registration process.  The test scores and course placement results will continue to be included in these reports in addition to being available through Banner as they have been in the past.

The Placement Testing Center has been updated with individual testing cubicles. Stop by and see the new professional look. Not only does it look better, it provides students with a less distractive environment.

In addition, the new Assistant Director of Counseling & Advising, Dr. Susan Roxin, will be the administrator in charge of the Placement Testing Center.  Dr. Roxin can be reached at ext. 2263 or via email at "mailto:sroxin@monroecc.edu" . Please stop by and introduce yourself.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the newest version of Accuplacer or the new look of the placement testing results please do not hesitate to contact the Counseling & Advising Center at ext. 2030.
