Online Placement Testing

The English and Math tests can be taken online via Blackboard/Canopy. However, each test has its own procedure. Use the the instructions below to successfully complete the English and Math Placement Tests.

Note: Do not attempt to test on a public computer (such as the Public Library) if they have a time limit. You will need over an hour to complete each test.

In order to complete your placement tests online, you will need to have confirmed admission to UC Blue Ash College. Please allow 24 to 48 hours after confirming your admission for your UC username and password to be accessible.

If you are using the alternative admission process, you need to submit your Basic Data Form to the College at least 48 hours before you can test online.

Prior to testing online, you will need to complete the initial steps of getting your UC credentials:

• Get your UC username
• Setup your Central Login Password
• Get Your UC ID

You do not need to register for the online English Placement test. The UC Blue Ash English placement test is available in your Blackboard account. Testing sessions begin at noon on Thursday and end at noon on the following Tuesday during designated testing dates.

The online English Placement Test is accessed though your UC blackboard account.
