ONLINE

Please register for and complete the exams here. You will need to log in with your campus credentials to complete the registration form before taking the exam. Within two business days of registering (but more likely within a few minutes), you will receive an email from Scantron with a username and password for accessing the exams.

To take the tests, your web browser must be able to accept cookies, JavaScript, and pop-up windows. We recommended you use the most up-to-date version of your web browser. If you leave or log out of a test before finishing, you may log back in and the system will remember how much time was remaining.

Upon completing a test, you must submit the exam in order for us to receive your scores. If you forget to submit your exam, you should be able to log back into the system to submit.

If you are participating in virtual Orientation, take your placement exam at least one week prior to your scheduled orientation date.  During Orientation, you will be meeting with your academic advisor to select fall classes. Having these placement scores is critical to your course selection.

Which tests should I take?

All students should take the English test and the Math test. If you have had two years of high school French, German or Spanish, please also take the appropriate language test.

Note: Chinese language placement tests will be available via Canvas this summer. A Japanese language placement test will be available once the campus opens. More information on these tests is coming soon.
