How to Schedule a Remote Test (Outside of Muskegon)

If you are planning to attend MCC but do not currently live in Muskegon, you can schedule to take the MCC Placement test at a remote test site. To do so, please contact the MCC Testing Center by email at TestingCenter@muskegoncc.edu or by calling (231) 777-0394 to set up your Remote Test Registration at another college in your area.

If you live in Muskegon but are planning to attend another college or university that requires the Accuplacer Placement test, you can schedule to take the test here at MCC. You must first contact the Testing/Placement Office at the college or university where you are planning to attend and ask to be registered for a Remote Test at Muskegon Community College. You will receive an email with a Registration Number and instructions on how to make your testing appointment at MCC.

There is a $25 fee for all non-MCC students.
