Placement testing for math and English classes is available daily. However, students should allow 2 ½ hours for the complete exam and if coming in the evening, schedule testing times according to closing times.

A computer lab is available for student use and to the general public when no classes are scheduled in that lab; however, priority is given to CVCC students.

Students who are interested in enrolling for the fall semester are encouraged to seek academic advisement early at the Center at the Altavista Office Park.
