Guided Self-Placement
Guided Self-Placement is a tool that helps measure your confidence levels in English and math so you can make informed decisions about the English and math courses to take at Macomb Community College.
Once you have completed your guided self-placement, you can meet with an Academic Advisor or Counselor to discuss course recommendations with you to make a decision that takes your personal experiences and educational goals into account. New students are assigned Guided Self-Placement within their Admission Account after their application has been processed.
Placement Testing
Placement Testing is available for students who have been referred both on-campus and online via Meazure Learning. There is a $28 fee to use the online Meazure Learning platform for testing. There is no charge to test on-campus. If you plan to test on-campus, please bring a photo ID.
Please note that in-person testing will be unavailable at South Campus during the month of April, due to scheduled renovations. Please contact placementtesting@macomb.edu if you have any questions.
