All Associate Degree and Certificate seeking day and evening students are required to take mathematics, reading, writing and science placement tests before they are allowed to register. These tests are not a condition for admission but are used for the purpose of academic advising and proper placement in classes.

Students enrolled in Mathematics or English courses are required to take the placement test in these areas. For enrollment in other courses, a student may need to take the placement test in order to meet the pre-requisite course requirements. Since most Roxbury Community College courses require proficiency in English or Mathematics, special students are encouraged to take tests in both subjects before matriculating.

In addition, non-native English speakers with limited proficiency in English must take the Roxbury Community College 'English as a Second Language' (ESL) Placement test. Non-native speakers of English may take the Roxbury Community College math test if they place into advanced level ESL classes.
