Placement Testing: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are not able to offer our typical Accuplacer testing. The following are various ways for you to complete this step:

Submit ACT/SAT scores

  • Taken within the last 5 years
  • Sending a PDF to Admissions
  • Your name must be visible on the document (cannot be handwritten)

Submit your official high school transcript

  • An unofficial transcript may be used if an official is not available
  • Transcripts can be no more than five years old
  • Transcripts can be sent via Parchment, emailed to Admissions from the high school or mailed.
  • A determination will be made regarding course placement.

If you do not meet the above requirements or are a Homeschool or GED student, you will need to complete the following:

  • Take the online self-assessment for English
  • Math assessment occurs via ALEKS
    • If you require an ALEKS assessment, an account will be created and information on accessing your account will be sent via your Glen Oaks email.
    • The test may be repeated up to five times with computer guided study sessions in between as detailed in the invitation email.
  • Advisors will let you know how to access these.
