College Credit Plus / TESTING
Testing
Eligible test scores are required for participation in College Credit Plus. Students may use eligible ACT/SAT
scores or choose to take the Tri-C® placement test.
Students can take the placement test on a Tri-C campus, or your high school can coordinate an on-site
testing session.
Testing Center Information
www.tri-c.edu/placement-testing/testing-information-for-students.html
Contact the testing manager to coordinate on-site testing.
The testing manager will determine if your school meets the technology requirements needed to offer onsite
placement testing.
Test Preparation
• The placement test preparation materials are located online.
• Visit www.tri-c.edu/CCPPlacementTesting to access the online modules.
Qualifying ACT/SAT Scores
Effective Academic Year 2018-2019, students interested in College Credit Plus must be considered eligible to
participate. A student is considered eligible for the program if they achieve scores at or above the Assessment
Threshold Score in at least one subtest of an approved assessment exam (see table below).
If a student does not score at the Assessment Threshold Score in at least one subtest, but has scored within
the Score Range to be Considered (calculated as the standard error of measurement), then the student can be
considered “conditionally eligible” for the program if they also meet one of these criteria:
• 3.0 cumulative GPA
• Recommendation from school counselor, principal or career-technical advisor
