Complete Placement Testing

Before You Proceed...

• Placement testing is not required for HCC courses offered through our career center partners, success education courses, or most career-technical education courses.
  • If you intend to choose HCC courses to take on-campus/online, you can review course descriptions & prerequisites at heartland.edu/schedule.
  • If you intend to choose HCC courses pre-selected by your high school, you can view course options and see placement requirements at heartland.edu/collegeNow/highSchools.
• Make sure you followed the instructions from your welcome letter to set up your myHeartland account at heartland.edu/password. (Contact our IT Help Desk directly if you have difficulty accessing your myHeartland account: helpdesk@heartland.edu or 309-268-8380.)
• You may be exempt from placement testing through HCC if you have eligible College Board test scores.
