IMPORTANT
Meeting prerequisites and assessment levels for the student's selected MC course(s) may require the student to submit SAT/ACT/AP scores to DEPA. However, the student may also be asked to take an MC English and/or Math (ALEKS) Placement Test.
For more information and guidance on meeting the prerequisites and assessment levels for your selected MC courses, please feel free to contact Ms. Neelam Mehta. She is here to support you through this process and answer any questions you may have.
To take the MC Remote English Placement Test, students will receive instructions to their MC email accounts.
Please check the information below to take the Math (ALEKS) Placement Test.

The assessment has 2 parts: Assessment 1 is the diagnostic; assessment 2 is the actual placement test.
Both parts MUST be completed to obtain a placement; the “placement” given after the diagnostic does not count. Once BOTH parts are completed, email Ms. Neelam Mehta. The Dual Enrollment office is not notified when students test.
