Student Resources

The University of Cincinnati is dedicated to helping students acheive their educational and professional goals. UC Testing Services provides a variety of products and services aimed at supporting current, former, and prospective Bearcats. 


Test Preparation courses are available year-round for current and former UC students. Students may register for a Princeton Review or Kaplan led test preparation course at a discounted rate. 

UC Testing Services provides secure and convenient proctoring services for UC classroom exams upon instructor request.

Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) is a way for students to earn UC credit for knowledge gained outside of the traditional classroom. 

Placement Tasks are a way to evaluate students’ skills in English, Reading and Math. The results help determine which courses would be most appropriate for the student – so you get to work on the course that’s best suited for your needs, saving you time and money as you acheive your educational goals.
