Placement tests help determine the best courses for your success at Heartland.

• First-time college students take the ACCUPLACER literacy placement test unless using a waiver or previous college-level credit for placement.
• Students take the ALEKS math placement exam, submit a valid waiver, or accept default placement in the developmental MATH 87/95/97 level. We encourage students to prepare for placement. 

For a complete list of accepted waivers and qualifying scores, visit our Testing Center page. 

Visit home.heartland.edu and check your Student Center To Do lists to see what transcripts you need to submit. Submit transcripts to the Records Office.
