  2. Determine if you can waive your placement test
  3. Click on Make an Appointment to choose the location where you will complete the placement test.
  4. After your testing appointment, a Heartland staff member will review your results with you based on Heartland's placement ranges (PDF)
  5. After testing is complete, all new students must contact Advisement and meet with an academic advisor as part of the enrollment process. This step does not apply to College NOW students taking Heartland courses through their high school.
