Determine Placement

Many classes at RVC have placement requirements, which can be assessed through submitting official high school transcripts (GPA requirements), SAT/ACT scores, or college transcripts including Advance Placement (AP), College Level Examination Program (CLEP), and International Baccalaureate (IB). All score reports and transcripts should be submitted to the Records and Registration Office for evaluation as soon as possible, (815) 921-4250, or visit: RockValleyCollege.edu/Records.

  • Placement testing assesses a student’s abilities in reading, English, and mathematics for the purpose of appropriate course placement. All testing is computer-based, untimed, and scores are immediately available.

  • More information about the placement test is available at: RockValleyCollege.edu/Testing and in the Testing Center, (815) 921-2380.

  • ACT/SAT scores may be submitted for possible placement test waivers if submitted for evaluation within three (3) years of the original test date.

  • Post-secondary transcripts/degrees from institutions accredited by recognized regional agencies, including any developmental or remedial courses taken, may be submitted for possible placement test waivers or exemptions based on evaluation.

  • Testing accommodations for students with disabilities must be approved by the Office of Disability Support Services (DSS) at least one (1) week prior to testing in order to arrange appropriate services, (815) 921-2371.
