NEXT GENERATION ACCUPLACER® does not determine admission status with Kellogg Community College. there are three sections of the NEXT GENERATION ACCUPLACER®: reading, writing, and math, (4 if you are completing English as a second language tests). Sections are not timed, but students generally spend 30-45 minutes on each; expect to spend about 2 hours for all three sections.

To test you will need to:

  • Complete the KCC Admission Application
  • Provide a current picture ID: (Student ID or government issued ID, Driver’s license, State ID, Passport)
  • Allow 1-3 hours for testing depending on the number of sections you take
  • In-person testing is free UNLESS, it is a retake, then a $5.00 retest fee per test section must be paid before testing by phone with a credit/debit card by contacting the Registrar’s Office at 269.965.5522 or when you come in to test. Students must wait 24 hours from the time they finish a test to retake a test section.

ATTENTION – If you have high school transcript and/or ACT/SAT/PSAT scores that are less than 5 years old, please submit these to KCC, prior to testing. Sufficient test scores and final high school transcripts with a cumulative, non-weighted GPA of 3.0 or higher may eliminate or reduce your need for placement testing. Also, send your official college/university transcript(s), because an evaluation may determine transfer credits and/or may reduce or eliminate the need to complete testing.
