Assessment and Orientation
Sign Up for Assessment and Orientation
After applying to the college, taking the "Accuplacer" assessment test and attending an Orientation/Registration session are mandatory steps for all PTC students unless they received other direction from admissions staff.
Once you have received an acceptance letter, you may sign up for assessment testing and orientation/registration. To reserve a seat at both events, contact Student Affairs at 1-800-521-7463 or 320-629-5100. Indicate you wish to sign up for the "Accuplacer" and Orientation/Registration. Please be aware that if you attend/show up for Orientation/Registration without having made an appointment, you will be turned away.
If you have a disability and/or need accommodations for the assessment test, contact Gloria Baker, Director of Disability Services, at 1-800-521-7463, TTY 320-629-1030, or email bakerg@pinetech.edu.
