Placement exams are for students who have not completed standardized tests such as the ACT, SAT or TOEFL, and are available in three areas:
1. Basis Communication and Composition in English
2. Mathematics
3. Foreign language (required for students wishing to place into second semester level or higher)
Basic Communication and Composition in English
General Education Requirements stipulate that all students must successfully complete English Composition III. Non-native English speaking students will be placed into English Composition I, II, or III on the basis of the English Placement Exam or existing scores from standardized tests such as the ACT, SAT, and TOEFL. Students who place into English Composition I or II must complete these courses within the first year of attendance.
Mathematics
All students who enroll in the Environmental Architecture or Business Administration major must demonstrate a minimum proficiency equivalent to MAT/1010 and MAT/1020 on the Mathematics Placement Exam or other standardized exam such as ACT or SAT. Students who do not obtain this minimum proficiency must complete MAT/1010 and/or MAT/1020 within the first year of attendance.
