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.  Accuplacer or ACT results will serve as the secondary means of placing students whose GPA is below the threshold for college-level courses.  Transfer students should self-identify, as placement testing may not be necessary.  For additional information, including self-study guides, or to make a testing appointment, please contact the Student Success and Transition Center at 419-755-4536.

All new students will meet with a Success Coach to discuss their goals, review their chosen major and begin the process of academic planning.  Call 419-755-4536 to schedule an appointment.

Ask your Success Coach to sign you up for 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.  Students will also register for their classes for the upcoming semester(s).  “Connect to College” helps ensure all students get off to a strong start at NC State.
