The college wants the students to be successful in their coursework, therefore HTC requires all students to complete a Placement Test. The Placement Test is not a pass or fail test. It consists of basic math and reading questions that will help our college place you in appropriate courses to help you succeed in college. Visit the Placement Testing page for more information. Each student will meet with a counselor following the placement test. The counselor will review your test scores with you and discuss your educational and career goals. They will also provide you with information about free tutoring services and Disability accommodations, as well as various student clubs and organizations.
