MAKE SURE YOU MEET THIS REQUIREMENT!
• The Accuplacer College Placement Test (CPT) is a non‐timed skills assessment test given on a walk‐in basis. There is no fee to take
the CPT. Your scores will be available upon completion of the test.
• CPT scores taken on or prior to 12/23/2011 do not count as the CPT results are only valid for two years. If the CPT date expires on
the application deadline date or before, the CPT will need to be taken again.
• Applicants who live more than two hours away may take the test by proctor. Please call the MHCC Testing Services for more
information at 503‐491‐7678.
• If you have COMPASS scores from another school, you will not need to take MHCC’s Accuplacer CPT. Please submit your
COMPASS score report with your application packet, and we will convert your test results for use at MHCC.
• If you are only taking portions of the CPT, you will need to obtain a “waiver” form by bringing appropriate transcripts to the
Academic Advising and Transfer Center, Room AC 2253.
• Test scores are not on official college transcripts. You will need to contact your college’s testing center to obtain your reading,
writing, and math scores for use at MHCC.
• Students who choose to retest in reading, writing or math will need to complete a Retest Self‐Referral Form, which is available in
the Testing Center or Academic Advising.
WORK EXPERIENCE AND INTERVIEW WITH PROGRAM FACULTY
The top 50 applicants will be invited to attend a group interview session with program faculty. This is a professional interview.
Applicants must be prepared to respond to questions verbally and in writing. Written responses will be evaluated for neatness,
legibility, grammar, spelling, and content. For those applicants who interview, program faculty will be awarding points at that time
for work and volunteer experience. Points will be awarded on a sliding scale depending upon the length and type of experience.
