  • Graduated from high school outside of the United States
  • Completed GED or High School Equivalency in 2013 or earlier (Completed GED or High School Equivalency in 2014 to Present - you may not need the placement test)

Students that don't meet any of the criteria listed will be placed into the initial (required) English and Math Course for their chosen Academic Program, the gateway English and Math course with a co-requisite course (support course), or a English and Math Transition Course. This placement is based on a student's cumulative unweighted GPA from high school:

  • 2.8 or higher = Initial (required) English and Math courses
  • 2.2-2.799 = Initial (required) English and Math with a Co-Requisite Course (support course)
  • 2.199 and below = Transition English or Transition Math

Students are also able to place into the gateway English and Math by submitting other test scores.
