Think you may be exempt?
If you think you may be exempt from taking the assessment because you have completed an intermediate algebra course or higher in college, complete and submit the math placement form. You may also be exempt from the English placement if you have qualifying AP scores or have completed a college level English composition 101 course.
If you've taken an Accuplacer assessment within the last two years you may request the institution to fax it to us at 360.475.7470 or email it to us at: accuplacerquestions@olympic.edu to see if it is of use to you here.
Placement scores are only valid for two years from date of testing regardless if you took your test with OC or at another institution.
Future applicants to the PSNS & IMF Apprentice Program should be prepared to meet the placement requirements for Olympic College's BSTEC 150 and Math 94.
The Accuplacer Reading Comprehension test is required for application consideration for the Nursing Programs, regardless of previous higher education or degrees acquired. There is no waiver or exception from the requirement to complete at least the Reading Comprehension portion of the Accuplacer for application to the Nursing Programs. The results for the Accuplacer Reading Comprehension do not expire for entrance into the ADN/TADN & PN Programs. If you plan on using the Accuplacer results for placement in an English/Math, the scores expire after two years.
