CSCC- CCP Placement Testing

CSCC Placement Testing
Accuplacer Update

Due to the current unavailability of ACCUPLACER, new students who apply to CCP may not be immediately eligible to register for courses. We are awaiting guidance from ODHE on modification of the specific CCP testing requirements outlined in statute, so we are currently unable to use alternate tests for admission to CCP. 

However, if students have qualifying ACT or SAT scores on file, they will not be impacted by this interruption. Once we know more from ODHE, we will be able to re-assess the timeline and move the process forward. If your students have ACT or SAT scores, you may send score reports to your CCP Advisor or to ccpadvising@cscc.edu. 

We have received lots of questions regarding placement testing. As of today, there is no in-person placement testing. ALEKS is available online through CougarWeb but there is no Reading or Writing placement testing. Please see information below from cscc.edu/about/coronavirus. Students are encouraged to continue to apply for admission. Placement updates will be provided as we have them. 

Placement testing
  • Math placement testing (ALEKS) will be administered online through CougarWeb . Take the math placement test online by Accessing CougarWeb with your Columbus State username and password. Select “ALEKS” under the “Placement Testing” link, and complete the math placement test.
  • Reading/Writing placement testing will not be administered. Completing the math placement process also will allow you to begin in our Fundamentals of College Writing (ENGL 0199)/College Composition Workshop (ENGL1101), where you’ll learn in a small-group, teacher-directed environment that will set you up for success through the rest of your college journey. Other scores, such as ACT/SAT/GED, may provide you with more course options, so please meet with a first term advisor. Visit www.cscc.edu/case, call 614-287-5353 or email case@cscc.edu to make an appointment.

Parchment- Ordering a transcript

Using Parchment allows you to send a transcript to yourself (parent, guardian, grandparent) a college, or an employer. You are able to view past/current grades, GPA, attendance, ACT scores, and End of Course exam test results on a transcript. Here are some friendly reminders and sugguestions: Transcripts are updated on a quarterly basis. Using Parchment requires you to create an account. We recommend saving your login information and updating to a personal email once you are close to graduation.  Seniors request a transcript to be sent to the college you are attending at the end of the school year. (We suggest right before graduation.) CCP students send a transcript to the college you applied to.  Take advantage of free transcripts while in high school. Once you graduate, there will be a fee for transcripts after one transcript. Use the link below to order a transcript.  https://www.parchment.com/u/registration/19475/account
