Alternatives to ACCUPLACER
Hello and Welcome to UDC-CC!
We at UDC-CC are looking forward to welcoming you as a new student for the Fall 2020 semester. Due to COVID-19, UDC continues to work remotely. Therefore, we have had to change our assessment procedures in order to provide guidance related to placement in English and Mathematics courses. As an alternative to the ACCUPLACER assessment, we have implemented a multiple measures plan for all new students. Please review the alternative placement plan below to determine the courses in which you may be eligible to enroll. Placement is based on your grades in high school, and scores from the SAT, ACT, GED, PARCC, CSEC, TOEFL, and IELTS exams/assessments. Please make sure that you review the requirements for your degree program to determine the mathematics course in which you may be eligible to enroll. Final course placement will be made during the academic advising session.
If you have any questions related to the information below, please send an email to udccctesting@udc.edu.
