ATTENTION TO STUDENTS WHO NEED TO PARK. DUE TO CONSTRUCTION, STUDENTS NEED TO
PARK IN THE TOWSONTOWN PARKING GARAGE AND PURCHASE A PARKING PERMIT (PAY
STATION MACHINE LOCATED ON LEFT SIDE OF VISITOR BOOTH)
TO AVOID TICKETING. PLEASE REFER TO THE CAMPUS MAP (BELOW) FOR
DIRECTIONS. The parking fee during the
summer is $2.00 for the entire day. The

- Do not complete the form below to
schedule a testing session. Group testing sessions have
ended. Call 410-704-2418 to schedule an individual testing
appointment. If you are required to complete testing in all
batteries (reading, writing and math); they are given on the same day. The writing test battery has a maximum time of 60
minutes; the math and reading test batteries are un-timed.
However, most students complete the math or reading battery
within 45 minutes.
- Bring your notification letter
with you and a photo ID. You will not be allowed
to test
without a photo ID.
- To obtain directions to the
testing location, please visit the link below "Towson
University Map."
- Read ACCUPLACER Information! You will be able to prepare for the
ONLINE test after you have read how the mathematics, reading or writing placement test is structured.
The math placement test is Elementary and Intermediate
Algebra. You must refresh your algebra
skills!
We highly recommend this book for
refreshing: Forgotten Algebra, Barron's, 3rd
Edition. Also, do not bring a
calculator! If calculator use is appropriate, a
calculator icon will appear on the screen for the tester to use.
- Do not schedule an on-campus testing session if you desire to test at a remote test location and not Towson University.
At this time, group testing sessions have
ended. Please call
410-704-2418
to schedule an individual appointment. However, spaces for
individual sessions are limited!
