Assessment Center

The Assessment Center provides a welcoming, secure, quiet, proctored testing environment for students.

Limited, pre-scheduled, in-person testing is available at the Main, Montoya, Westside, Rio Rancho, and South Valley Campus Assessment Center.  Remote Accuplacer and other tests are available from home, Monday thru Saturday. In order to test remotely, test takers will need a computer (desktop or laptop) with webcam and audio capabilities.

If you do not have a computer or a webcam and would like to take the Accuplacer remotely, email us at testing@cnm.edu

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.
