Answers to the most frequently asked questions for testing and assessment.


Placement assessment for new students is not required at this time. Instead, measures have been made for student placement assessments. With these new measures in place, you will need to consult with an advisor regarding placement and registration for your courses.

Where do I submit my documents?

You can submit your documents online. You can also upload photos for documentation proof.

What do I do after I submit my documents for review?

Contact your advisor for a consultation meeting.

How do I know what level of coursework I will be placed into at Montco?

Montco offers ESL and BIO Placement Testing to assess the appropriate level of coursework in those subject areas. For more information about the BIO & ESL placement tests.

In addition, students must demonstrate academic readiness in the areas of mathematics, reading, and English, which can be demonstrated through multiple measures of assessment. These may include, but are not limited to high school transcripts, standardized tests, placement assessments, and/or prior college-level coursework. If the high school transcripts or score reports are older than five years, academic readiness will be determined in consultation with an advisor.
