Many courses require an assessment of a student's skill level in reading, writing and math to ensure students are prepared to successfully complete the course. Students' course placement will determine how they progress through their program of study. Appropriate placement is important as it impacts a student's progression through their program and alignment of their demonstrated skill set to promote academic success.

Your previous educational experience will help determine the options most likely to place you successfully. We strongly encourage high school graduates from an accredited US school in the past five years and anyone with credit from an accredited college or university to submit unofficial transcripts for evaluation of placement eligibility. Please submit all placement documentation to our Secure Document Upload tool. Official transcript evaluation will be necessary to have previous college credits applied toward your degree.

The survey below will help you determine where you place and what you will need to do to get placement.
