Required of students whose ACT English is below 20 OR whose SAT Verbal is below 550. If the English Placement Test is also required of you, then you must take that test first. Should you place out of ACAD English, you will be required to take the Reading Placement Test. Should you place into ACAD English, you will not need to take the Reading Placement Test. If, however, you do not need to take the English Placement Test but have test scores indicating a need for the Reading Placement Test, you must take this test.
Scores are available immediately after test completion.
You must wait 60 days before you can retest. New students, including transfers with fewer than 65 transferable degree credits, with an ACT composite of less than 20, or an ACT subscore of less than 20 in Reading, Mathematics, or English, must take the appropriate University Placement Test and enroll in the courses indicated by this testing. Students must complete these requirements before enrolling in upper-level courses in their major field. They are designed to raise the skill level of the student in reading, writing, mathematics, and study skills. However, they can be some of the most worthwhile college courses for the student who needs them.
