Placement Information for HS Counselors

High school students have the option of placement testing through individual appointments or an arranged group testing either at IVCC location or at the high school (coordinated by the Assessment Center and the high school counselor/appropriate party).
Please note- students with accommodations must first be in communication with IVCC's Center for Accessibility and Neurodiversity to receive appropriate accommodations for placement testing.  

INDIVIDUAL APPOINTMENTS

Students can make individual appointments for on campus testing.   Students can go online to www.registerblast.com/ivcc and make their own appointment for placement testing at either the Oglesby campus or IVCC Ottawa Center.  Appointments are offered at the main campus and Ottawa Center. 

*THIS OPTION IS ENCOURAGED FOR SENIORS TO ACCLIMATE THEM TO CAMPUS*

VIRTUAL PROCTORING OF PLACEMENT TESTING

IVCC is still utilizing a third party proctoring company to provide placement testing at home (or even during the school day if that works for your student and setup).   Students can request a virtual testing voucher here:  https://www.ivcc.edu/assessmentcenter/online_placement.php

HS GROUP TESTING

You may also request group placement testing at your high school, administered by Assessment Center staff. Please email summer_studstill@ivcc.edu for inquiries and questions.                            

IVCC PLACEMENT TESTING POLICIES

  1. A minimum of 10 students must be established for testing.  
  2. Students must have submitted application two weeks before and the list must stay consistent once provided to IVCC Assessment Center. 
  3. Technical requirements must be communicated to the school's IT staff prior to testing to ensure limited issues occur while students have testing administered at your high school -- Accuplacer System Requirements
  4. Due to staffing and other limitations, high school group testing should only plan on one proctor being available and only one session being offered at your school.

Students can be bussed by your high school for a scheduled Admissions/Placement testing day to IVCC campus (Oglesby).  We would work on arranging days/times for this depending on room scheduling on campus.  Admissions staff would also meet with your students and provide a tour of campus or have another pre-determined activity planned for the remainder of the time you are on campus. Again, contact summer_studstill@ivcc.edu with questions.

If you choose this route, it would be similar to Assessment Center staff coming to your campus. Three weeks before your scheduled visit, we would be in contact with you to request a list of the students and additional information of who will be coming for the group testing/visit. We will also determine the start time for the day at this time as well. Please make certain students have turned in their IVCC applications before this three week time frame.
