ACCUPLACER Placement Testing and Calendar

ACCUPLACER is a test used for placement purposes and is administered to potential and current students to assess academic levels prior to enrollment. The test will assess your content knowledge in reading, sentence skills, and mathematics. New degree and certificate students are required to take the placement tests unless exempt.

Please note: CMC students must first submit a completed CMC Application and obtain a CMC Student ID Number.
Students will need a computer (desktop or laptop) with a webcam (mandatory) and a headset (preferred). Unfortunately, other devices such as cell phones, iPads, Surface, and other tablets, will not work.

Proctors must ask each test taker to present at least one current, valid form of identification. Acceptable forms of photo identification include current and valid:

  • Driver’s license
  • State-approved or federal ID
  • Military ID
  • College ID
  • High school ID
  • Middle school ID
  • Passport
  • Tribal ID
  • Naturalization card or certificate of citizenship

Appointment needs to be scheduled 24 hours prior to the posted time.

HOW TO RETRIEVE A COPY OF YOUR ACCUPLACER SCORE

Your Individual Score Report (ISR) is available for 4 years.

You can retrieve your ISR from the Accuplacer.org Student Portal.

  • You will need your CMC ID # to enter into the security field called “Student ID #”. Call any campus counselor if you do not know your CMC ID #.
  • Tip – You may have to enter your CMC ID # with a Zero in front for a total of 7 numbers or try without the Zero in front.
  • The Individual Score Report will be emailed to the e-mail address you entered into Accuplacer when you took the test.
  • If you no longer have this e-mail address then send a request to CMCAccuplacer@coloradomtn.edu from your new email address requesting your email address be updated. You will need to provide your name, birth date and CMC ID # in the email.
  • If you do not receive the email from Accuplacer with the subject line “ACCUPLACER Individual Student Report Notification”, email CMCAccuplacer@coloradomtn.edu for help. Please provide your name, birth date and CMC ID #.
