College Credit Plus Placement Testing

College Credit Plus (CCP) Placement Testing

High school students interested in College Credit Plus (CCP) must be considered eligible to participate.

A student can be considered eligible in one of the following ways:

A cumulative, unweighted 3.0 GPA.
A qualifying test score on a state-approved exam such as ACT, SAT, or ALEKS.
In grade 11 or 12 with a 2.75-2.99 cumulative, unweighted GPA.

Once a student is eligible, students who wish to participate in the College Credit Plus program at Tri-C also need to have a placement score. English placement scores are required for participation in most Tri-C courses. Math placement scores are only required if you plan to take a math course or a course with a math prerequisite.

Students should also review the My Online Readiness Assessment (M.O.R.E) prior to the start of the term as they adjust to a virtual or hybrid college environment.

English Placement

Students that will be grades 11-12 during their first term of enrollment in College Credit Plus can be placed into college-level English with a 3.0 GPA. All students can be placed with a qualifying ACT (18+) or SAT (480+)
Students in grades in grades 7-10 or with a GPA less than 3.0, must take Tri-C's English placement essay test. Click here to log into my Tri-C space and schedule your virtual appointment. The test can be taken from any computer with an internet connection.

Math Placement

Students in grades 10-12 can be placed using their most current high school math course if the course was completed in 10th grade or later. Students with qualifying ACT (21+) or SAT (520+) scores do not need to take the math test. If math course or ACT, SAT scores do not yield placement, student needs to take the ALEKS math assessement at a Tri-C campus.
