Testing Schedule

KOMATKE Hall B, Room 106; Enrollment Services

The Maricopa Community Colleges use Placement Testing (ASSET, ACCUPLACER, ALEKS or CELSA) to assist students and advisors in determining initial course placement in English, Reading and Mathematics courses. Placement testing is required for all students new to college, for students without a high school diploma or GED who are seeking financial aid, and for students pursuing a degree. Placement testing is free.*

Students attending other colleges or universities may request to have a test proctored at EMCC with proper protocol and scheduling. The cost for proctored exams is $25* per EMCC semester.

The General Education Development Test (GED) is administered at the times indicated below. The fee for GED testing is $75*; retake tests are $15 per test. Pre-registration at least one day prior to the testing date is required for GED testing.
