Placement Testing

All students applying for admission are required to take the NC-DAP placement test. Students are asked to meet 15 minutes prior to testing in the Hoffler building, Student Success Center. Students are tested in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics. The test is designed to assist counselors in placing students into appropriate classes based upon skill level.
