Beginning Fall 2021, Anoka Technical College is a Course Placement Pilot Project participant, reviewing student records for college-level course prerequisites which can be met through: qualifying standardized test scores from ACCUPLACER (NGA/Classic), ACT, MCA, SAT, a combination of qualifying scores plus a qualifying HS GPA, a qualifying stand-alone HS GPA and through use of Guided Self-Placement. Students who meet college-level course prerequisites may be exempted from taking portions of ACCUPLACER based on documentation provided. Students who do not meet college-level course prerequisites will be advised to take ACCUPLACER to determine appropriate course placement.
Time Validations
- ACCUPLACER Classic/NGA Reading scores are valid for five years, Math scores are valid for two years, inclusive of the current calendar year.
- ACT, MCA and SAT scores are valid for five years, inclusive of the current calendar year.
- HS GPA must be within 10 years of graduation date. In absence of official transcript self-reported may be used.
![When Diana Sanchez moved to the US from Ecuador, she was looking for a college that would support her dream of becoming an Occupational Therapy Assistant.
"Anoka [Tech] opened the doors for me and gave me all the opportunities and facilities that I needed. They made me feel welcome the first time that I came here and helped me on my career path."
After getting started in the Health Technology program, Diana successfully completed the coursework and testing to start in the OTA program.](https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/439446298_1433035227575534_4718210899010240921_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=wXFhMMEkMq0Ab6_Cqe4&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&oh=00_AfCKHVpbqzTVmcQAktj3P7AW-u7llCY6g-IugEymkX8P9Q&oe=663038DF)
