Most degree and certificate seeking applicants to Nassau Community College are required to take a placement test prior to registering for courses. An entering student must demonstrate readiness to learn the course material successfully and that's why you're asked to take the ACCUPLACER (or Placement Test) test at NCC. For detailed information regarding Placement Test requirements please see our current College Catalog.
Information about scheduling a placement test will be sent to you through your NCC email account. If you have not set up your Nassau Community College email account. please do so immediately.
Please Note: Before you can schedule a placement test you must submit your NCC application, the $50.00 application fee, and a copy of your high school or college transcript.
