Placement Testing Information

Lansing Community College requires minimum reading, writing, and math levels to enroll in many courses. These levels are measured by the scores achieved on the Computer Placement Tests (CPT) taken at LCC, or by reviewing ACT/SAT scores or a college transcript. For college placement tests (CPT's), ACT, SAT and other Wavier information, please contact the Assessment Center at www.lcc.edu/assessment.

 General information about the tests:

·         The tests are untimed and are multiple-choice.

·         Allow approximately 45 minutes- one hour for each test.

·         The last test will be handed out one hour prior to the closing
      time of the Assessment Center (200 GB).

·         You may use accommodations while taking these tests.
       (See below for more information)

·         An appointment is NOT needed to take these tests,
     UNLESS the student plans to use accommodations.
