Incoming first-time students will receive a link to a personalized survey that builds their mathematical history. The survey directs them to the most appropriate placement test based on this history and their major of interest.
Only a proctored attempt at the assessment may be used for placement.
Students have the option to take their proctored Math Placement Test online with ProctorU for a $10.50 charge, or in person at Testing Services for a $17 charge.
Continuing and transfer students must consult their advisor for guidance on determining the appropriate placement test. Tests were constructed assuming a student had completed their high school mathematics curriculum, and they are not available to current high school students.
High school students seeking to enroll in dual-credit coursework should refer to the ACT and/or KYOTE tests for placement into quantitative coursework.
