The Placement Exams

All new freshmen and identified transfer students must complete testing in mathematics, reading, and writing before they register for classes. The primary function of the tests is to determine which course placements are appropriate for our students and whether or not developmental studies are needed. These tests enable us to determine if students have had sufficient preparation to be enrolled in college level courses.
