If a student chooses to take a Math or English course and does not have the qualifying ACT scores, the student must take the Accuplacer Placement Assessment. Students are strongly encouraged to study before testing. The Testing & Assessment Centers offer two different options for students who need to take the placement exam. On-campus and remote exam sessions are offered. All exam sessions require an appointment. Remote exam sessions require a strong internet connection and a computer or laptop with audio and video capabilities. To schedule an ACCUPLACER exam, visit exam registration. For questions, email testing@sheltonstate.edu. Free Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Help Sessions are offered at the Martin Campus of Shelton State Community College.
