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.
Please contact the Placement Testing Office at 516.572.7780 if you have any questions.
Special testing is available for students with disabilities. If you have a learning, physical, psychological, hearing, visual and/or medical disability and need special assistance or accommodations please contact the Center for Students with Disabilities for more information.
When English is not a student's primary language, then an ESL test is given. For more information regarding ESL Placement Testing, please e-mail your questions to Hector Fortuna at esltest@ncc.edu or call 516.573.0172 or 516.573.0171
