Placement Testing
To help you begin coursework at the appropriate level, the university provides placement testing in math, chemistry, and second language. With your test results, your college adviser will be able to discuss with you during your Orientation where you can best begin coursework in these and related subjects. All placement testing needs to be done before you come to the University for Orientation.
