Following their acceptance for admission to the Community College of Rhode Island, all new students will be contacted to schedule the mandatory placement tests in writing, reading and math before they can register for classes.  Please note: a $40 testing fee is required prior to testing, made payable at the Bursar's office.

The Accuplacer Placement Test does not affect your admission to the college. The results simply help to place you in the appropriate courses. It is critical that you do your best on the Accuplacer assessment. While it is not a pass/fail type of assessment, your scores will be used to determine your first semester classes. Please note that should your scores result in your need to take developmental or prerequisite classes in your first semester, it may delay your graduation and/or transfer to other four-year colleges or universities.
