Registration for fall courses begins May 8th, 2023.
Students will have an appointment with an academic advisor to review their assessment results, explore and register for classes for their incoming term, and review online resources.

Find more information about math placement here.

If you already have earned college credits for language classes, you most likely do not need to take a language placement exam. Language placement testing is available for the following languages:
