UCC utilizes multiple measures for recent High School (HS) and GED graduates. This means we can use HS grades or GED test scores for placement.

 

To learn more about multiple measures check out the placement chart or make an appointment with your Academic Advisor, [email protected], to help you with course placement.

 

If you have HS transcripts or GED scores send them to the Office of Admissions at [email protected].  

Applicants must take the ACCUPLACER Next-Generation placement tests prior to enrolling in classes and have the option, for math, to take the ALEKS math placement test. Both tests are untimed; ACCUPLACER Next-Generation consists of Reading, Writing, and Math, while ALEKS consists of math with practice modules in between tests.

Internet-Based TOEFL: Currently suspended

The TOEFL® iBT (Internet-based Test) tests all four language skills that are important for effective communication: reading, listening, speaking and writing. The test helps students demonstrate that they have the English skills needed for success. The TOEFL iBT emphasizes integrated skills and provides better information to institutions about students’ ability to communicate in an academic setting and their readiness for academic coursework. With Internet-based testing, ETS can capture speech and score responses in a standardized manner.

The TOEFL iBT measures skills in reading, listening, speaking and writing, and requires you to combine 2 or more of these skills to respond to a question. For example, you might read a passage or listen to a lecture in English, and then write or speak your answers in English.

Umpqua Community College Testing Services is NOT a TOEFL iBT test site. Go to TOEFL® iBT for test dates, times, and test locations.

iBT TOEFL registration is done exclusively through the iBT TOEFL website: http://www.ets.org/toefl
