If you need to take Placement Exams, they are already untimed and in a quiet location. If you require additional accommodations for a Placement Exam (i.e., Test Reader or Writer), you will need to complete the steps to apply for accommodations including the determination meeting before taking your placement exam(s). If you are not required to take a Placement Exam or do not require additional accommodations, you can wait until after you register for classes with your Success Coach to apply for accommodations.
