Course Placement Assessment

All students must take the English Self-assessment after they are accepted to QCC. The Assessment will take about 20 minutes to complete. Be sure to be in a space where you can give this important tool your full attention. The results will hep determine which English class will be best for you based on your skills.

While QCC uses several measures to ensure students are placed in the right math course for their success, some students may benefit from taking the QMAT. QMAT is strongly encouraged for students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics based majors. Please review the information about who should take QMAT on the QMAT webpage.

Have high school transcripts, HiSET/GED test scores, and/or SAT/ACT test scores sent to admissions@qcc.mass.edu. Have college transcripts sent to qccreg@qcc.mass.edu.

We are currently using multiple measures to help place you into appropriate courses in math and English. These measures might include:

• High school transcript or most recent report card, showing overall GPA
• College transcripts or previous QCC courses and grades
• AP test scores, SAT or ACT test scores
• HiSET or GED test scores
• Math Assessment
• English Self-Assessment (This assessment may be done online)

If you have English Accuplacer Scores from another institution, we might be able to accept them. Please have scores sent to testing@qcc.mass.edu. Please note that we do not accept math scores from any other institution.
