Heartland general education courses offered through your high school require you to take the ACCUPLACER® literacy test.  If your school will offer a HCC Math, Biology and/or Chemistry course, you must also take the ACCUPLACER® Math test.  You will get a score report when you have completed the required placement test(s), unless you attend a group testing session with your school.  Heartland will waive the ACCUPLACER® testing requirements in some cases if you have eligible ACT or SAT scores. Your counselor will have more information about this. *Your school will provide information about potential HCC courses offered through your high school if they are not listed on the College NOW website.*

You can request enrollment though your high school counselor if you meet all requirements.
