PLACEMENT EXAMS 
Students who have not completed standardized tests such as the ACT, SAT or TOEFL may be required to take placement exams which are available in three areas:

1. Basic 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.

SJIU offers degree students with insufficient English language skills, the opportunity to participate in an intensive English language course (EAL). This course has been designed specifically for students who already have a basic knowledge of the language but who want to improve their skills.

Mathematics
All students who enroll at SJIU must complete MAT/1010 or MAT/1020 within the first year of attendance unless they are able to demonstrate a minimum proficiency equivalent to MAT/1010 and MAT/1020 on the Mathematics Placement Exam or other standardized exams such as ACT or SAT. 
Placement exams will be available during orientation. If students do not meet existing requirements, they must satisfy those prerequisites during their first year of attendance.
