Admissions Testing

Student Readiness Assessment (ACCUPLACER)  

Many programs require English and/or Math skills for admission. You may be required to write a Student Readiness Assessment (SRA) if:

• You have not taken the required English or Math courses listed in your program's admission requirements.
• You have been out of school for several years.
• You are an international or out-of-province applicant.

You must have a current CNC student number and have applied for a CNC  program to write the test. The test fee is $21.00 and must be paid prior to taking the test. There is an additional fee of $42.00 for virtual testing. 

Please see Minimum Scores Sheet for the tests and scores required for your program.

*SRA results are valis for one year.
