Accuplacer Testing

The Accuplacer test is a college readiness exam that is provided by the same company who created the ACT. Any student without ACT, SAT, COMPASS, or ASSET scores must take the Math, Reading, and/or Writing portions of the Accuplacer test before they can be enrolled in any courses. This test will allow a UAC advisor to place students in courses they are ready for and to find them additional assistance with Math and Reading/Writing when needed.

If you are taking the Accuplacer test and are intending to enroll at UA Cossatot:

You will need to complete an Application for Admission and obtain a testing card from Student Services before taking your Accuplacer exam.
Your first Accuplacer test can be taken at no charge. After your initial assessment, you are required to pay $10 per each section you retake.

If you are not intending to enroll at UA Cossatot:

You are required to pay $10 per each section you take or retake.
You must present a receipt of payment from the UAC Business Office to Testing Center staff.
