If you are a new student, start by submitting a credit student application.

The placement test (LOEP) is required for new students. You are allowed two attempts on the test before registering for classes. Scores are usually higher on the second attempt.

Prior to taking the ESL ACCUPLACER test, you must complete the test workshop which will review study resources, test format and current testing process. Self-Enroll in the test workshop at any time and select English as Second Language Students.

If you need assistance with your placement test needs, navigating or enrolling in the Canvas site, complete the Help Request Form or contact the testing center. Find more information about LOEP.

Use the placement chart below to identify what courses you should register for.
