Online Placement

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 and set up Central Login Password
• Get Your UC ID

After confirming your admission to UCBA, you will complete the guided self-placement survey as part of your pre-enrollment process in the Bearcat Portal.

The writing guided self-placement needs to be completed at least two weeks prior to your scheduled orientation.

At the conclusion of the writing guided self-placement survey, you will choose which writing course you would like to register for at orientation.

If you change your mind about which course you would like to register for after completing the writing guided self-placement, contact us at ucbaplacement@uc.edu or tell your advisor at orientation that you are choosing a different course than the one you selected through the guided self-placement.

You do not need to resubmit the writing guided self-placement survey.
