Placement Testing Information
The policy which requires
placement testing before a student may enroll in English, reading, or
mathematics or for any student registering for more than four semester hours
is mandated by our governing authority, the Alabama State Board of Education.
The placement testing program is designed to place students in courses based
on their current knowledge and ability.
Exceptions to the placement testing policy may be
approved if a student has ACT or SAT I scores at a minimum level or if they have
successfully completed English, reading, and/or mathematics courses at a regionally
accredited college or university. Transcripts and/or ACT/SAT I scores must be on file before
an exception to the placement testing requirement will be approved. ACT/SAT I scores must be
within two years of high school graduation and must meet the following minimums:
ACT |
SAT I |
| English |
20 |
Verbal |
480 |
| Mathematics |
20 |
Mathematics |
480 |
Placement testing is by untimed
computerized testing. Call the Advising Center of your choice for exact dates
and times and to schedule your
computerized test.
