Registering For and Taking Placement Tests

Widgets

UW-Eau Claire hosts online placement tests for new students in Math (Test A), English, and Languages (French, German, Spanish). Registration for online tests for Spring 2027 admits is currently open via the Center for Placement Testing website. Special Note: Transfer students will be notified by their Advising, Retention, and Career Center (ARCC) advisor if placement tests are needed. 

Note: If you have also been admitted to or are considering another Universities of Wisconsin institution, please check that specific campus website for test recommendations, as they could differ slightly. If you do not have access to a computer/internet, accommodations can be made for paper/pencil testing on campus - email academictesting@uwec.edu to request.

Online Testing Process

Students can register for online placement tests at the Center for Placement Testing website. Reminder: our online tests are not proctored.

Once in the site, you will need to log in with your UWEC campus credentials to complete the registration form before taking the tests. Within two business days of registering, you will receive an email from Meazure Learning with a username and password for accessing your placement tests. If you haven't received your email in two days, be sure to check your junk/spam email folder before contacting the Center for Placement Testing for support.

  • To take the test, your web browser must be able to accept cookies, JavaScript, and pop-up windows. We recommend you use the most up-to-date version of your web browser.
  • Upon completing a test, you must submit it in order for us to receive your scores. If you forget to submit your test, you should be able to log back into the system to submit.

Please note: It takes around two weeks for tests to be scored and sent to UW-Eau Claire, therefore we highly recommend that you take them as soon as you can.

  • American Sign Language:  Students will need to complete an eform to request an American Sign Language (ASL) placement test with our SLHS department.
