3-3 Valley View Church
According to 3-3 polling officials, this is the largest voting precinct in the township with 2,318 total eligible voters. By 5:30 p.m., 1,427 votes have been accounted for.
"We are very happy with the turnout," Gloria Cocoran, a Republican Committee volunteer of 24 years, said. "It's nice to see people exercising their right to vote."
"I think the good thing is a lot of Republicans are turning out," Doug Hager, Area 4 Republican Committee Leader said, which encompasses parts of the Perkiomen Valley, Lower Providence and Worcester.
[Updated 11-7-12 for previous edition name error] Among the Democrat volunteers was Ann Russo, grandmother of PA Representative District 150 candidate Kelly Devine.
"I'm proud to be doing this for my granddaughter," Russo, who has spent most of her day since 7 a.m., working at the 3-3 poll.
According to K-C Carolina, chairman of the Lower Providence Democratic Committee, as well as treasurer of the Montgomery County Democrat Committee, a Democrat poll worker reported to him that her mother, a senior citizen, saw an alleged discrepancy when she made her vote. Carolina said that he called the election officials at 3-3 when he was notified, later in the evening, at approximately 6:30 p.m. He said that the officials gave a full inspection of the voting booths.
"We're doing everything we can to alert them about any possible discrepancies," Carolina said.
Gail Hager, 3-3 judge of elections, said that they took the report very seriously.

Outside, major political party volunteers and committee members shared the same space leading to the Lower Providence Township Community Center building, as a continuous flow of voters entered. Democrat Committee volunteer David Follett, pointed out that the partisan workers were even sharing the same bag of sugar for their coffees.
"It's sweet when you have a nice high turnout," Follett said.
"The time for animosity is over," Janice Kearney, Republican Committee member, said. "We just want to get the votes in."
Kearney, along with Follett, as well as one other Republican Committee poll worker, noted that the current location of 2-3 can become congested in its parking lot. Kearney said that she suggested had suggested an alternative polling place for the upcoming elections.

"We're hoping for 1,200," Robert Hottenstein, 2-2 judge of elections, said.

He added that in the primaries, a total of 280 voters came out for those elections.
Garole Gaugher, Lower Providence Committee member, stood outside, fully bundled, handing out party literature. She said, as with most committee members and volunteers on both major parties working the polls outside their respective voting places, election day is a good opportunity to greet neighbors and friends.
"It's good to see them smile," Gaugher said of voters coming and going into the township building.
Among the smiling voters was Maura Mooney, 21, who exercised her right to vote for the first time.
"It's the first big election I've been able to vote," Mooney said. She added that she's been paying particular attention to the various races, and wanted to have her perspective count. "I feel if I can have my opinion on it, I should at least put my say into it."
2-1 Woodland Elementary School
By 2:09 p.m., 482 voters out of 1,154, had been accounted for. According to the judge of elections here, projected an 80-percent turnout.

Volunteers from both Democrat and Republican committees were also present.

"I'm glad it's a great turnout," she said. "I'm passionate about re-electing our president."
With the highs today only reaching 48 degrees, Republican committee volunteers stayed outside to hand out their literature.
"We don't need the heat, becuase we are fired up to win," Jennifer Giangiordano, said, addint that this is her first election to volunteer.
By 11:45 a.m., the parking lot of Lower Providence voting place 1-1, located at the IBEW Local Union 380 in Collegeville, was packed.
Inside the IBEW building, people were quietly waiting in line, sometimes 15 - 20 people long. Although, lines were long, the verification process swiftly moved, and there were no reports of any voter-related issues.
A 1-1 official reported that there were over 650 people who voted by 11:45 a.m., with approximately 2,000 registered voters in this voting district.

Posts Tagged 'package'
Oneglass is an Italian company that has had a wonderful idea: a single-dose pocket size pack of wine (100 ml).
Hotel Siena Borgo Grondaie was intrigued and wanted to know more about this novelty.
For the first time a 100 ml innovative packaging: lightweight, unbreakable and pocket-size…easy to use and to carry wherever you go.
This kind of packaging, that maintains all the organoleptic characteristics of the wine, is made of paper (75%), polyethylene (20%) and aluminium (5%); that's why it can be entirely recycled after use.
Considering the lower weight and reduced risk of breaking compared to a classic bottle, there are many possibilities of use: large shipments, special occasions such as day-trips or picnic; lunch break, canteen, self-service, wine tasting.
It also avoids waste because 100 ml is the right amount for tasting wine without having to open a bottle.
Oneglass sells four kinds of wine: two types of white ( Pinot Grigio and Vermentino) and two types of red ( Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese ).
At the Wine Business Summit ( platform for the exchange of new ideas and business for people in the wine industry coming from different backgrounds) at the Palais du Vin in Bruxelles on January 19th, 2013, Oneglass is in competition for the best innovative company in the wine industry. The winners will have the opportunity to raise their profile and give more visibility to their product.

Classroom of the Week: Mrs. Forsman's 2nd Grade
Published on Thursday, 20 December 2012 13:07
Hits: 590
There are 19 students in our class.
This year we'll strive to do our personal best and encourage our friends, too. We'll learn what it feels like to be successful students as we gain tons of reading, writing, math, science, social studies, health, music, phy-ed, and technology skills! Already we've learned to add and subtract with regrouping, mastered lots of new words, written and typed fables, learned about eating healthy with Little D the dragon, experimented with and created rotation in many ways, shown strong teamwork, and even dissected a virtual owl pellet, and that's only the beginning of what we've accomplished!
One of our social studies units in second grade is "Now and Then," comparing and contrasting our lives today with life 10, 20, 50, and even 100 years ago. We plan to spend a day at Pioneer Park in Annandale to immerse ourselves in history and experience what life was like "back then."
We have a great group of kids in our class this year! When someone needs help, several friends are ready to step up. When someone achieves a big goal, we all cheer and congratulate him/her. Teamwork is one of our strongest qualities as a class this year. Every student has so many unique gifts to share, and by putting us all together, we can really shine!

The MTA Measures of Effectiveness chart illustrates how these two ratings intersect.
The summative evaluation rating is based on the four separate ratings on the relevant standards of professional practice and the two goals of the Educator Plan.
One of four ratings – exemplary, proficient, needs improvement, unsatisfactory – is achieved on each of the four standards and overall. All evaluator judgments must be based on the appropriate professional practice rubric and must be supported by evidence provided by either the educator or the evaluator. The goal of the Educator Evaluation Framework is a rating of proficient.
The impact on the student learning rating is based on trends and patterns on multiple measures of student outcomes. A pattern is based on the combination of outcomes on multiple measures for the same instructional period (generally a year). A trend is based on at least two years of outcomes. One of three impacts – high, moderate, low – is achieved at the end of each year. High indicates student growth greater than that expected in a year. Moderate indicates student growth equal to that expected in a year. Low indicates student growth less than that expected in a year.

The Los Angeles Angels might be interested in signing right-hander Hiroki Kuroda. However, he is mostly considered a fall-back option if they can't keep Zack Greinke, according to a report by Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com.
It all has to do with economics. Greinke might be looking for a deal worth at least $120 million and six years. That makes him a pricey option, especially when you consider the Halos paid $3.5 million to buy out Dan Haren's deal.
Kuroda could also come with a huge price tag. The Japanese veteran didn't accept the Yankees' $13.3 million qualifying offer, meaning he is looking for a better contract and more money elsewhere.
If the Angels can't get Greinke to resign with them, Kuroda might be an option, especially when you consider he has expressed his desire of finishing his career in Japan. At age 37, that could mean he could be playing for only one more year in the United States.
Kuroda has several teams interested in him, according to previous reports, including the Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox.

If we told you Miley Cyrus posted a very revealing photo of herself on social media, you'd hardly consider that news, right? The star has been known for fearlessly baring tons of skin -- gratuitous, eye-rolling amounts of skin. But here's what's new: This time she's doing it for charity. And she's taken it all off.
On Twitter last night, the star revealed her latest collaboration with Marc Jacobs' Protect the Skin You're In campaign, a mission to raise funds for the New York University Skin Cancer Institute, showing a photo of herself totally naked while strategically covering her private bits with her hands.
You can show off skin too -- hers, not yours, that is -- by scooping up one of the shirts baring the image. They're are available beginning today at select Marc Jacobs boutiques around the country.
We say props to Miley for aligning her well-known propensity for exhibitionism with an important message and fund-raising mission this time. Twerk it, girl!
Ts are available at 9 Marc Jacobs boutiques including SanFran, LA, Chicago, New York, Boston, & Savannah GA! pic.twitter.com/K20WJDG14F

Deal All,
I have created an assembly containing several parts. I want to export several text parameters of the assembly and parts into the iproperties of the corresponding idw so that I can use them in a text block. Does anyone know how to makes this possible?
Thanking you in advance,
Solved! Go to Solution.
What version? I'll assume 2013.
In a text note or in the title block?
If you need it in the titleblock you'll have to use an iLogic script to do this. (A very very simple one)
If you need it in a text note you can reference parameters directly in the text editor.
Dear Mike,
Thank you for your reply. I am working with inventor 2012.
This is exactly what I want, use the parameter into a text box. I do not know how to link the text parameter of an assembly or part with the ipt. Hope you can help me. With your solution you can not choose text paremeters.
I belive linking text parameters in a drawing file is a new feature of 2013.
Unless you want to upgrade, you'll have to use iLogic to filter through an iPoperty. Here's a snippet that will do so. You'll then simply insert the iProperty from the drawing into your text note.
iProperties.Value("Custom", "PropertyName") = Parameter("yourPart.ipt.yourParameter")
Edit: This is a great example of why you should always include your version of Inventor with your original question.
Thanks a lot, that was the solution that I was looking for.

General Info about GIS Data @ UC San Diego
If you are a UC San Diego person looking for GIS data, you want to start with either our X drive, or our list of GIS Data links in this guide.
The Data & GIS Lab keeps the majority of its GIS data on a drive called the X drive. The data is organized geographically, roughly by continent, with topical data arrangement inside each folder. Topics are:
- Boundaries, Districts and Jurisdictions
- Census
- Digital Elevation Models - DEMs
- Geology, Geography and Topography
- Hydrology
- Imagery
- Land Use, Zoning and Community Plans
- Places
- Transportation and Transportation-Related
- Utilities
Remember, if you are looking for data on a smaller area of geography, be sure to check the folder with the larger geography first. An example would be if you are looking for data for only one of the states in the United States, you would want to look in the United States Data folder as well as the North America data folder.
NOTE: TO USE DATA ON THE X DRIVE YOU MUST BE IN THE DATA & GIS LAB. Our current configuration does not allow for the use of the Data & GIS Lab's GIS data to be accessed from anywhere other than the workstations in the Data & GIS Lab. At some point in the future, it is possible that we will have Web access with UC San Diego authentication to the X drive. Sorry for any inconvenience!

The New York Islanders earned a big win in Game 4 against the Pittsburgh Penguins, but may have suffered a big loss: Andrew MacDonald left the game after taking a shot off the hand in the second period, and the earliest report is it may be a broken hand, according to Arthur Staple of Newsday.
The Islanders are officially calling it an "upper body" injury, the vague nomenclature of choice in the NHL.
MacDonald is a relative unknown among casual NHL fans, but he plays a key role for the Islanders and led them in ice time during the regular season. He partners with Travis Hamonic as the team's "shutdown" defensive pair, usually assigned to check the opposition's best players.
MacDonald left the game midway through the second period, ironically getting a penalty but heading to the locker room instead of the box. The call on the play was holding, but his holding arm appeared to block a shot with his hand.
The Islanders drew the series even at two apiece with a 6-4 win.

It's also a great time of year for entertainment, so I didn't have any trouble digging up some must-have items for my list. I've included an artist who should definitely be on in the background when the weather gets cold, a funny book to read by the fire (or heater), a scary movie to watch in the safety of your own home (with candy), and very cool TV-to-DVD choices. Ready to check it out? Just hit "Start." Ray LaMontagne: Gossip in the Grain What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I've been looking forward to this one for a while now. Ray's voice is so pretty and soulful and has the potential to make me cry. I've heard tastes of this new album and cannot wait until Oct. 14 when I can download it! Source 1 / 6 The Strangers on DVD What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This little horror flick hits shelves Oct. 21, just in time for Halloween. The movie stars Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman as a young couple tormented by masked strangers. I'm on the wimpy side anyway when it comes to this stuff, but honestly this movie freaked me out and the suspense was hard to bear. What more could you want for a spooky evening on the couch (hopefully not alone or in a remote cabin!)? Source 2 / 6 The Pretenders: Break Up the Concrete What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Pretenders singer Chrissie Hynde is truly one of the grand dames of rock and roll, and I'm excited to get to hear that voice again when Break Up the Concrete, the Pretenders' first album in six years, drops Oct. 7. It sounds like an album full of strong, straight-up rock songs that I can't wait to have pulsing through my earphones. Source 3 / 6 More Information Than You Require by John Hodgman What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Oh John Hodgman, he's so funny. You may know him from his other book The Areas of My Expertise, or as The Daily Show's "Resident Expert," or as the PC guy in the Mac ads. Just reading the "themes" for this next book, in stores Oct. 21, made me laugh: "The Past (because there is always more)" and "The Future (because they say there is still some left to discuss)." Source 4 / 6 The Bridge School Benefit Concert What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Bridge School Benefit concert is an annual fundraiser organized by Neil Young and his wife to assist children with physical and communicative impairments. The concert takes place in Mountain View, CA (near me in San Francisco), and has a really exciting line-up that includes: Death Cab for Cutie, Wilco, Cat Power, Smashing Pumpkins, ZZ Top, Norah Jones, Jack Johnson, and even Josh Groban. I'm definitely thinking about checking this out Oct. 25 and 26. You can find more information about the concert here. Source 6 / 6 Awesome TV DVDs What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This month two beloved TV shows hit stores and I will most definitely be adding them to my collection. Both would make awesome gifts, too. Season two of 30 Rock has one of my favorite episodes of the series, "MILF Island," and the third season of How I Met Your Mother includes the music videos! Both are out Oct. 7.

Racing chief reveals scheme for RAF base
11:00am Thursday 15th November 2012 in Bicester By Sam McGregor
Buy this photo Adrian Reynard with the proposal he has submitted to the Ministry of Defence for the future development of RAF Bicester
FORMER motor racing boss Adrian Reynard has unveiled multi-million pound plans for the future of RAF Bicester.
Mr Reynard, 61, confirmed he was one of four shortlisted bidders vying to buy the former bomber airfield off Skimmingdish Lane.
If successful, the businessman says he will use his life savings to create an aviation and motorsport heritage centre on the 348-acre site.
Many of the buildings date back to the 1920s and 1930s, Under his proposal, Bomber Command Heritage (BCH), Chiltern Classic Aircraft and Bicester Gliding Club would all be involved in the project.
Units at the site would also be rented to local start-up businesses, who would pay a lower rent in return for restoring the buildings they lease.
Leisure facilities such as indoor go-kart racing and paintball wars are also on the cards.
Mr Reynard said: "My bid is based on the fact that this site will cost tens of millions of pounds to restore over a long period of time.
"I'm funding this out of my life savings, because I think it's a really worthwhile thing to do.
"I would like to give something back to Bicester. The town has been very good for me for 40 years and I'm ready to put something back."
Mr Reynard founded Reynard Motorsport in 1973 at a former undertaker's premises in St John's Street, which is now the site of the Reynard Court flats.
He said: "The aviation heritage objective is to attract as many operators as we have space for, while understanding that the airfield continues with gliding operations.
"However, that's only part of it. The other thing Bicester is famous for is motor racing.
"So my plan would be to turn many of the buildings into a motor racing live museum."
It would be housed in the former air station's old motor maintenance area and would include a display of classic cars from the 1920s to 1940s, as well as modern racing cars.
Father-of-four Mr Reynard said: "I don't plan for a static museum, I want it to be a live museum with aircraft being worked on and flown, and heritage racing cars worked on and driven around the perimeter track. This is a long-term restoration "The object is to transform this site into the same appearance it was in the 1940s as a Second World War RAF base.
"It may take 10 to 20 years to fulfil all the expectations."
He said the immediate concern was to prevent the original RAF buildings from any further deterioration.
There has been interest in his project from the RAF Museum at Hendon, in London; the Historic Aircraft Association, and Cranfield and Oxford Brookes universities.
A trust would be set up to oversee the project, with four main aims: preservation of the buildings, an aviation museum, a motorsport heritage centre and support to start-up businesses and young people gaining employment.
It is understood the Ministry of Defence could select a preferred bidder by Christmas and complete the sale before the end of the financial year next March.

A fantastic thrillerBy K N Gupta
Eye TV India Bureau
Cast: : Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor, Mohanlal, Kangna Ranaut, Zayed Khan, Sameera Reddy & Boman Irani
Director: Priyadarshan
Critic's I-view
April 27th, 2012, might well be a lucky day for Bollywood as the day could go down as one marking the release of the first biggie of 2012. One could give the credit for this multi & big starrer action movie to director Priyadarshan, who is known for releasing one big movie a year. 'Tezz' stars two big guys - Ajay Devgn and Anil Kapoor- along with two Tier 2 females - Sameera Reddy and Kangana Ranaut - to shoulder this extraordinarily exciting action thriller. Though similar to several foreign movies likes of 'Speed', 'The Bullet Train' or 'Monster Express', it's not a copy of any of them. Aptly titled 'Tezz' (Speed), the film might really press the buttons for thrill seekers. 'Tezz' doesn't have competition from the other flop flick to hit the screens this weekend 'Life Ki Toh Lag Gayi'.
The 'Tezz' story is about a team of Asians headed by Aakash Rana played by Ajay Devgun. They place a bomb on a bullet train running between London and Glasgow. An anonymous threat call warns the authorities that if the train decelerates or loses speed below 60 kmph, it will be destroyed along with 500 passengers on board. On demand is a huge ransom, but the government is opposed to it. Arjun Khanna played by Anil Kapoor is the Counter Terrorism Commander who has just retired. As he readies to board his flight to India along with his wife and daughter, he is asked for 'just one more day', to help negotiate with the terrorist. At the same time, there is a sharp difference of opinion between the police and the railway authorities' about solving the problem. The police want to prevent an explosion, the railway authorities are more concerned at the safety of passengers.
Aakash is not a hardcore terrorist, but a victim of the system and determined to get back at it for taking away his innocence and jeopardizing his family. He didn't possess the documents - like a work permit for UK and was therefore deported, his marriage with Kangana Ranaut questioned and his accounts frozen! He was unaware of his wife and child's whereabouts until he meets them again. Had his wife responded to the emails, Devgn wouldn't have planted the bomb. Devgn and Anil are pitted against each other and time. Lives could be devastated unless Ajay Devgn helps defuse the bomb or Counter Terrorism Command Arjun Khanna succeeds in catching bomber Devgn. Zayed playing Adil and Sameera Reddy playing Megha turn criminals for Devgn as the latter had helped both of them when they had no documents to work in the UK.
Director Priyadarshan has very judiciously chosen the lead cast. Ajay Devgn is known as an action hero and Anil Kapoor is equally well versed with this genre. Significantly, Gareth Milne and Peter Pedrero of the 'Harry Potter' and 'Deathly Hollows' fame have directed these two biggies to play stunts. Both foreign trainers also oversee stunts by the female cast, especially Sameera Reddy who is very excited with her performance as a bar dancer and Kangana Ranault as Devgn's wife. Ajay's performance is superb. Anil excels throughout his role. Mohanlal is extraordinary as a Scotland Yard cop. Boman Irani as the chief of the train and father of a girl passenger is phenomenally brilliant. Avika Gor as Boman Irani's daughter plays well too. The Sajid-Wajid duo provides appropriate music score. Choreography is fascinating as it captures the cities of the United Kingdom with all their beauty. The depiction of chase sequences is done terrifically. The Mallika Sherawat track 'Laila' gels well.
Overall, the movie is a fantastic action thriller.

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — The United States won't be scrambling military jets or engaging in high-level diplomatic bartering to get National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden extradited to the U.S., President Barack Obama said Thursday.
Dismissing him as ''a 29-year-old hacker,'' Obama sought to downplay the international chase for Snowden, lowering the temperature of an issue that has already raised tensions between the U.S. and uneasy partners Russia and China. Snowden turned 30 last week.

Rush Limbaugh is among the few celebrities who have publicly admitted to experiencing a sudden hearing loss. In his job as talk show host, he has used a Teleprompter and staff assistance to answer callers.
Limbaugh's experience with sudden hearing loss is not unique. In his case, it was due to autoimmune inner ear disease. Autoimmune inner ear disease in itself is not that rare; several people have posted on the forum and e-mailed me describing symptoms of an autoimmune-related hearing loss.
A cochlear implant was the solution for Limbaugh, who reportedly can hear his program with it. He needed one because one ear was totally deaf, and the other one was nearly so.As someone who had already experienced hearing, he was a good implant candidate. The implant in his left ear restored some hearing, but the right ear is still deaf.
At the time he revealed his hearing loss publicly, Limbaugh stated that he was developing a "deaf voice." Speech therapy is a possible solution for a "deaf voice," which develops when a person can not hear themselves and can not hear high and low pitches.
Other options available to people experiencing sudden hearing loss like Limbaugh did, include:
- Joining the Association of Late Deafened Adults. This is a national organization composed of people who have lost their hearing later in life, sometimes a sudden hearing loss.
- Learning to read lips. When the implant is not in use, an implantee is still deaf.
- Learning sign language to fill in the gaps when not everything can be heard or lipread.

Sustainability in All Things except Rational Thinking
July 24, 2011 by SARTRE · Leave a Comment
Few words stir up passion and polarization like sustainability. The EPA offers up this description. "The traditional definition of sustainability calls for policies and strategies that meet society's present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Gee, who could disagree with such touchy and feely sentiments? The answer is always in the details and when you strip away the platitudes, what remains is a coordinated plot to enslave humanity under a burden of a Carbon Tax scheme. The environment has more risk from globalist central planning than from any fossil fuel emissions. Proponents of the global warming religion demonstrate a disdain for rational thinking that challenges their doctrine of a heterodox belief. The sustainability cult ignores any evidence that conflicts with their political agenda.

The brutal beheading of James Foley by ISIS (the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq) confirmed that there remains a Sunni jihadist terrorism problem in the Mideast: decimating al-Qaeda and killing Osama bin Laden didn't end it.

- Bill Clinton's "Neocon-inspired Decisions" Triggered Three Major Crises in our TimesAn eye-popping new book has alleged that U.S. President Bill Clinton had his White House phones tapped in real time, for the benefit of the Israeli government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

- Hillary Clinton's neocon momentIs it not a thing of wonderment that the two leading families of the Party of the Poor and Down-and-Out are ending the summer in Martha's Vineyard? Both the Obamas and the Clintons are renting spacious mansions, probably from Wall Streeters, on that enchanted isle and playing golf and tennis, and — who knows — croquet, just like the Rockefellers or Vanderbil

Select Route:
The best things in life require a little work, like getting born. If you've found yourself drooling over the flawless 5.10 dihedral pictured on the cover of Shull's Southeastern Rock, it's time to put in a little grunt work and escape the Womb. A mandatory stop on the southeastern climber's granite training circuit.
The Womb dihedral is distinct as the right margin of the slabby left end of the North Face. Look for a right-facing, vegetated flake about 40 feet up, which in turn will take you to the right-angling hand crack that ends at the Womb.

Accuplacer assessment is NOT an entrance exam and there is no fee the first time you take the assessment. All applicants to South Central College must complete the Accuplacer assessment for enrollment into a program, orientation, and course registration. Results of the test do not affect admission to the college (unless you are without a high school diploma or GED).
Accuplacer is a comprehensive system of assessment, advisement, and placement for students entering college. It is composed of un-timed, computer adaptive, multiple choice tests. The system determines which courses are appropriate for students and whether college readiness classes are needed. Calculators, dictionaries, and other materials are not allowed in the testing area.
The college assesses each student in writing, reading, and mathematic skills. Results are used for advising students in properly selecting and sequencing courses. Assessment takes place prior to registration and is a major component of our advising program. Course placement assessment from other colleges may be accepted if assessment was completed within two years.
Spring, Summer and Fall 2015 applicants will be able to complete the Accuplacer starting in October 2014.
Testing dates will be posted by September 15th for students to sign up by clicking on the link above.
Accuplacer assessment is NOT required for the following students:
- Applicants with an ACT subject area score of 21 in Reading and/or 18 in English and/or 22 in Math will be exempted from the corresponding Accuplacer subject area. The ACT must have been completed within the last 3 calendar years for Reading and English, two calendar years for Math.
- Applicants with an SAT subject area score of 500 in the Reading, English and Math areas will be exempted from the corresponding Accuplacer subject area. The SAT must have been completed within the last 3 calendar years for Reading and English, two calendar years for Math.
- Applicants with a college transcript that identifies the following: Earned a grade of "C" or higher ("D" or higher from a MnSCU college) in a College-level (100 or above) English, Reading or Math class.
Retesting: MnSCU has not established a retesting policy; however, SCC does allow retesting. Students must wait three months before retesting and we encourage preparatory work by students during this time. Any additional assessments beyond the initial assessment have a fee of $10.00, payable by the student at the SCC Bookstore. Please bring this receipt to the testing site when you plan to retest.
