At the University of Cincinnati Clermont College, we are committed to your success. The placement test is an important part of that commitment and is designed to help you and your advisor choose classes that will meet your educational needs.

Upon admission to Clermont College, all degree seeking students are required to take a Placement Test before enrolling in any math or English courses. Students who receive transfer credit for college-level math or college-level English courses do not need to take the placement test. Non-degree seeking students will only be required to take the test if registering for an English or Math course.

Refresh your math skills for FREE.  For more information visit The Learning Center.

The placement test consists of three parts - English, Mathematics, and Reading.  Only the Business Information Technology or Paralegal programs require the Keyboarding test.  Students who need the Keyboarding test can take it the same day or schedule for another day.  (*In order to take the English Essay portion online, students must complete their admissions process prior to scheduling a test date.)

Please click on the yellow "Schedule Now" button to schedule your test(s).

We also offer a Foreign Language Placement Test to students who would like to test their skills in French, German or Spanish. Students may take a foreign language placement test on any of the scheduled dates below.  Please mention that you will be taking the foreign language portion and which one when making your reservation.  Please add which foreign language test you would like to take in the "Comments" section when making your reservation.
