What is the Accuplacer Exam?
The Accuplacer exam is a series of tests that evaluate a student's preparedness for college-level courses. Students who have transfer credit in college level English and math, or a qualifying high school GPA, or sufficient SAT or ACT scores, may be exempt from taking Accuplacer.

NOTE: A photo ID is required for testing (Driver’s license, State ID card). Testing is administered in the Administration Building.

What if I have a diverse ability/disability that requires academic accommodations?
If you are in need of special accommodations for testing, please call the Director of Student Services at 812-482-3030 at least two weeks prior to the testing date.

What if I have transfer credit?
If you have transfer credit, we must have an official transcript before you enroll in classes to determine appropriate course placement. Official transcripts must be sent to VU directly from the issuing college/s where the credit was earned.

How do I meet college readiness requirements?
All students are required to demonstrate college readiness in order to register for classes.
