Students who attend high schools that don't have a GPA system in place are still able to apply to the PSEO program at Minneapolis Community and Technical College. Students will need to submit a letter of recommendation along with their application materials if they do not have a GPA.
Students who have GPAs that are below the required amount (3.0 for Juniors and 2.5 for Seniors) must also submit a letter of recommendation. All of the required materials will be used to assess the student's ability to participate in the program.
No, you will not have to schedule an appointment for our assessment tests, though you will have to turn in your application to the PSEO Program prior to testing. Reference our Testing Center's website in order to plan accordingly. Testing must be completed prior to the application deadline. Visit the Testing Center webpage for their available hours.
The Accuplacer placement tests are used to determine a student's level of readiness when it comes to enrolling in college level courses. Your assessment test scores will also determine the types of classes you may take if admitted into the PSEO Program at MCTC.
Yes, students are able to retest if they are not satisfied with their test scores. Students may retest once per testing term, but not more than three times in a twelve month period. Retesting must be completed before the application deadline. Reference our Testing Center's website for additional information regarding our retesting procedures. Visit the Testing Center webpage for their available hours.
We will accept Accuplacer placement test scores if they were taken within the last three years for English and Reading and then within the last two years for Mathematics. Students who have tested at another testing center or testing site will have to submit a copy of their previous test scores so that they may be transferred to MCTC.
The Testing Center will occasionally be open on Saturdays. The testing schedule can be found online via the Testing Center's webpage or by calling the Testing Center at 612-659-6262.
Applicant files will be reviewed after the program deadline and candidates for admission will be notified of their admission status within 30 days via US mail.
