Placement tests are required for most students planning to enroll in English or math courses or courses with English or math prerequisites. Exceptions are made for students who provide transcripts verifying prior college-level English or math coursework. The entire English placement test may also be waived for students with an SAT verbal score of 550 or higher. The basic math placement test is not required for students with an SAT math score of 550 or higher or an ACT math subtest score of 21 or higher. However, students seeking a higher course placement must take an advanced math placement test.
Placement exams take up to five days to score.
Testing is ongoing. Students should test soon enough to take advantage of early registration options. All students will be offered assistance in planning a program of learning in accordance with their academic background and goals. Students must attend a placement test information session or meet with an advisor to review placement test results. Results are not available by phone.
