ACCUPLACER Testing

Helena College recommends the ACCUPLACER exam for course placement in some situations. Please contact your academic advisor if you have questions.

For dual enrollment students: Helena College will work with each high school individually to ensure students are placed in the appropriate dual credit class. Placement tests for writing will no longer be required, and any eligible dual enrollment student may take College Writing (WRIT 101) or Technical Writing (WRIT 121) going forward.  Math placement will rely on factors such as high school courses completed and grades in relevant coursework. Dual enrollment students should talk to the dual enrollment advisor,  dualenrollment@helenacollege.edu. Please see  http://helenacollege.edu/admissions_enrollment/highschool.aspx for more information.

If your advisor recommends the ACCUPLACER exam, the fee is $25 for students who intend to enroll at Helena College.
