Placement Testing

Thank you for your patience as we work through several issues with setting up remote proctoring of placement tests. We know you are anxious to complete your placement tests and register for courses.

The Admissions Office is the first step. Students who need a placement test or think they need a placement test should email Admissions at admissions@gtcc.edu. Admissions will determine if placement testing is necessary. Some students will find that the placement test is not needed and will be one step closer to registering for classes.

If the Admissions Office determines that a placement test is necessary, an email will be sent to the student and the Assessment Center with the type of placement test needed. The Assessment Center will then become the point of contact regarding the placement test and assist the student in setting up the necessary accounts and provide guidance as needed during the testing phase.
