ALEKS Placement, Preparation and Learning Guide for Students

If you are enrolling in or transferring to a school of higher education, you may be able to securely send your PPL Placement Assessment results directly to the school. When you send your results, it is at the discretion of that school to accept or not accept your results.

How to Send Your Placement Assessment Results

  • Log into your PPL account
  • On your My Classes page, find the tile for the cohort with the Placement Assessment results you’d like to share.
  • Open the menu in the top, right corner of that tile and select Send Results.

    If the Send Results option is not available, your school does not allow students to share their Placement Assessment results with other schools.
  • After selecting Send Results, a list of schools appears in alphabetical order (only 50 display at a time). To view more schools, scroll to the bottom and select Show More. You can also use the search box to search for a school.
  • Select the school to where you are sending your results.
  • Select Continue.

    If the school you are looking for is not on the list, that school does not allow incoming or transfer students to send their Placement Assessment results.
  • On the confirmation pop-up, check the box to acknowledge that you are sending your personally identifiable information to the new school.
  • Select Send.
  • You will receive an email confirmation when your Placement Assessment results have successfully been sent to the school. Follow up with the school to ensure they have received your results and to learn more about how they may impact your placement.
