Fees
There is a $15 fee for taking ACCUPLACER. If you do not attend the testing session class, you must drop it at least one business day before you test, or you can call 920-735-5645 to inform Enrollment Services that you want to drop the testing session class. If you do not drop or call, you will be billed even if you do not test. Your fees can be paid online at the time of registration, at Enrollment Services (Appleton/Oshkosh Campuses), or at the Regional Center where your test will be taken. If you plan to pay the same day as testing, please arrive 20 minutes early to allow time for payment before the test session begins.
Late arrivals will not be accommodated once the testing session has begun
.

you must drop the class to receive a refund. The class must be dropped before your scheduled class session in order to receive a refund. If you do not drop the class before the day you are scheduled to test, you are responsible for the fee.
