SUMMER 2025: The NCSC Test Center is temporarily relocating to the Health Sciences Building (main campus), Room 245B. *Test sessions begin at 9am or 1pm, unless otherwise noted. Please arrive 15 minutes prior. For the test center, call 419-755-4536. Take a virtual tour of campus here.

There are 3 checkpoints in the process where testing may be needed:

1. CCP Program Eligibility to Participate (Set by Ohio legislature) – all requirements must be met
2. College Admission for CCP & Enrollment (Set by each college) – all items must be completed and all criteria met
3. CCP Course Planning & Registration (Set by each college) – all prerequisites, or placement requirements must be met. When planning courses with your CCP advisor and school counselor, please remember:

Testing is required for placement in college English, Math and some Science courses, regardless of GPA. *In addition to qualifying for CCP, all course prerequisites or placement must be met. If you have ACT scores, or ACCUPLACER from another college, please provide these to NCSC for review.

Seniors in CCP also have the Option for a Multiple-Measures Transcript Assessment for Course Placement. If multiple measures are met, the CCP Senior will place directly in college-level Math and English, without additional testing. For this review, provide your advisor with a copy of your HS transcript showing final grades for 11th grade. *Course Placement is separate from, and does not replace, Ohio’s CCP program eligibility requirement. A multiple measures assessment for course placement can be considered after CCP eligibility is established.
