Placement

Placement exams are offered to first-year and transfer students during admissions and orientation events for Writing, Math, and Foreign Language.

First-Year Writing Placement

Entering students who do not have transfer credit for ENG 111 or ENG 112 will be placed into ENG 110 or ENG 111 based on their SAT Reading and Writing score or ACT English Composition score. Students may request a placement exam if they would like to be considered for a higher writing course. Students accepted into the Honors Program may be exempt from ENG 111 and placed into ENG 112 based on writing samples and standardized test scores.

First-Year Mathematics Placement

Entering students who do not have transfer credit for any mathematics courses will be placed
into MAT 103. Students may exempt MAT 103 if they meet one of the criteria in the table below
in the column titled “Exempt from MAT 103.” Certain majors, listed in the table below, are
strongly encouraged to take the MAT 230 Placement Exam in order to align with their course
needs. Students may exempt MAT 230 by taking this proctored placement exam. In the case
that students are exempt from MAT103 by placement criteria, they must take either
MAT 203 Introduction to Statistics, MAT 231 Calculus I, or CS 110 Introduction to Computer
Science to satisfy the general education Intellectual Foundation requirement. Students with
transfer credit/AP Credit will be placed accordingly in the next mathematics course if needed.
