Do Non-Matriculated Students need to complete placement? No, unless they are attempting to place into a higher-level mathematics course. The Registrar’s Office and Academic Affairs has adopted a policy that will waive all non-matriculated students into gateway college level courses. Non-matriculated students will receive college level waivers for English, Reading, and Math. If a student matriculates from non-matriculated, they should be assessed, and the non-matriculated waivers removed. In these cases, it is recommended the student directly reaches out to the Testing and Assessment Center for assistance. However, a non-matriculated student who wishes to take a higher-level mathematics course (Pre-Calculus or Calculus) must meet appropriate course pre-requisites or waivers. If they do not, they may take the Advanced Algebra Functions (AAF) exam to place directly into those courses. How are English Language Institute students placed? Students that take courses through the English Language Institute (ELI) will receive a placement recommendation at the completion of their ESL program with the assistance of Justin Smith, ELI Director. To contact the English Language Institute about your next steps for placement, please go to www.sunywcc.edu/esl and fill out the ‘ESL Pathways to College’ link on the left, where you can complete an interest form. ELI students may request the Math Directed Self-Placement Questionnaire directly from the Testing and Assessment Center by emailing Testingcenter@sunywcc.edu. They should attach the recommended placements received by the ELI department and indicate they would like to complete the Math DSP. The Testing Center will send them only the math portion of the DSP to complete. Are any groups of students still required to take placement tests instead of the questionnaires? Yes. The following groups of students are still required to take regular placement tests: - Non-high school graduates applying into the College’s 24-credit GED program - Students with a foreign high school diploma who are applying for New York State Financial Aid (TAP) - Early Admit Students who want to take classes while still in high school and do not meet placement waivers (see Admissions section. For testing exemptions for Early Admit Students, please see below) - New matriculated high school graduates wishing to place directly into Calculus or Precalculus or select chemistry courses (Chem 107 or Chem 111). - Students who disagree with the results of their placement questionnaires and would like to take a Challenge exam. Students in the above groups can schedule their remote exam at www.sunywcc.edu/testingcenter In addition, students may schedule an appointment for on-campus testing at the main campus. The Testing Center is taking walk-in testing appointments, but it is highly recommended students reach out to the Testing Center via email or phone to schedule an appointment. Students may test in-person at the Testing Center Monday to Friday with an arrival time between 8:30am and 1:00pm. Later arrival times may be available depending on the exam that the student needs to take. Students taking the ACCUPLACER placement exams
