RISE English/Math Placement Tests

• Placement Tests

  New PCC students that do not qualify to forgo English and math placement requirements under new RISE regulations must take the RISE math & English placements tests in order to be enrolled in their program-required math & English courses.  If the student has taken university-level math & English courses elsewhere, they must have official transcripts sent to PCC for evaluation.  After this evaluation, if the student is given credit for their math and English program-required requirements, they do not need to take the placement tests.
  

  In order to take the math & English placement test, a student must make an appointment with a member of the PCC Library staff to schedule a time to take the tests needed for course placement.
