Those who wish to enroll at NMC in the fall 2014 semester must take the placement tests. The deadline to apply for admission for the fall 2014 semester is July 31, 2014.

Before taking the placement tests, individuals must first fill out a Placement Test/PCID Request Form at the Office of Admissions and Records (Monday – Friday, 9am to 4pm) and pay the $25 fee for each placement test at the NMC Cashier (Monday – Friday, 8:30am – 4pm). Payment of the admission application fee will cover the English placement test fee. Students will not be allowed to take the placement test/PCID tests without their processed Placement Request Form and a valid photo ID (driver’s license, passport or school ID).

Note that the English and placement tests are computer- based. The English placement test is taken in two parts. The first test is on three subjects, which include listening, language use, and reading skills; the second will be an essay.

The testing center will provide scratch paper and pencils. The use of a calculator is allowed during the math placement.
