The university requires that all new students not transferring in college level English or math are placed in courses commensurate with their academic abilities. English placement testing is completed online and can be done from any computer off or on campus. Based on standardized test scores (SAT or ACT), many students are placed in a math level without having to complete testing, but students without standardized test scores or college level math credit may still be required to complete math placement. Students who have experience in a foreign language in high school are encouraged to take the Foreign Language Placement Test. Tests are offered in French, German, and Spanish and permit the awarding of special credit. There is a $13.80 fee for each test.
