What is Accuplacer?
Answer:
The Accuplacer® assessment has replaced with the new Community College Placement Test (CCPT) to determine placement into most courses. Exceptions are ESL courses.
If you have already taken the Accuplacer, don't worry. Your scores are good for course placement. However, we no longer give the Accuplacer exam for placement into most courses.
If you’re a new student, the state of Colorado requires you take a Community College Placement Test (CCPT) before you can enroll in classes (unless you qualify for an exemption). This assessment will help us place you in the right courses when you start at Red Rocks Community College.
