North Central State College has adopted a multiple measures placement process. High school GPA of 2.5 or above will serve as its primary means of placing post-high school students in college-level English and mathematics courses.

The Accuplacer test is now OPTIONAL. If your GPA is below a 2.5 you are not required to take the test. Instead you will be placed in a developmental class along with your required course to ensure you are successful. Placement testing is not required for those who identify as transfer students. If you self-identify as someone who would like to take the Accuplacer in an attempt to test out of the developmental course, please call 419-755-4800 and we can get you set up.

All new students will meet with an Academic Advisor to discuss their goals, review their chosen major and begin the process of academic planning. Call 419-755-4761 to schedule an appointment.

Students will need to attend an Orientation. During the “Connect to College” session students will learn about campus resources, college expectations, important deadlines, student software applications, purchasing books, payment options, and opportunities to get involved outside the classroom with fellow students. “Connect to College” helps ensure all students get off to a strong start at NC State.
