• The Accuplacer is required for all students who have not successfully completed college English and math courses or achieved appropriate SAT/ACT scores

• Your Accuplacer scores will determine your initial classes for your first semester at VUJ. To better prepare, take a practice test, using the Accuplacer Study App.

• Schedule your Accuplacer exam here. To schedule a virtual Accuplacer exam, email your request to accuplacer@vinu.edu.
