You can either submit scores from a previously taken ACT/SAT or schedule a time to complete the Accuplacer. The Accuplacer is a placement test that covers skill in writing, reading, and mathematics.

Online Learning Readiness (OLR)

The OLR is a required assessment for all students looking to take an online course. Even if you do not take an online course during your first semester at NSCC, OLR is helpful to complete ahead of registering for classes in case it becomes an option. The OLR typically takes 45-60 minutes to complete.
