English Placement: Placement for English is required in order to take English 101 and/or English 102.

Math Placement: Placement for math is required in order to take a math class. If students do not meet the minimum score but still want to take their desired math class, they will be required to meet with an Academic Advisor. If a student takes a math class that they do not place into, and they do not get the grade they wanted, they will not be entitled for a refund.
