Determine your College Placement in English and/or Mathematics Before starting a degree or certificate major program of study, most students are required to determine their appropriate course placement in reading, writing, and mathematics. In many instances, students can place into college-level courses by using multiple measures, such as high school GPA, SAT, ACT, GED, and HiSet scores. For students not meeting the multiple measure requirements, they can use a guided self-placement process for English and Math. In rarer instances (i.e., Dual Enrollment homeschooler, A&P Challenge Exam, Calculus placement) student can take a computerized test (CPT) for placement. For detailed information on multiple measure criteria, the guided self-placement process, and the use of Accuplacer, students should visit the College Student Assessment and Placement website. If you still have questions on course placement, call 1-800-818-3434 or e-mail placement@middlesex.mass.edu. In order to be eligible to participate in a specific academic program and/or enroll in credit classes, students must first determine their course placements in English or Mathematics.
