Hello, and welcome to Essex County College

All new students seeking a degree or certificate are required to take the College Placement Exam (COMPANION/ACCUPLACER) given by the Enrollment Services Express Center.  This test is used to determine placement in college-level or developmental courses. 

If you took a placement test at another New Jersey college in the last three years, the scores should be sent to the Enrollment Services Express Center for evaluation.  Essex County College requires scores for the following sections unless waived:

• Reading
• Essay
• Computation
• Algebra
