New Placement Tool

We have a new course placement tool called the Directed Self-Placement (DSP). The DSP can be taken from your cell phone or other online device and is an alternative to the Accuplacer reading test. Follow this link for more information and to take the DSP. Currently, math placement scores still require the math Accuplacer test.
