When to Take Your Tests
Appropriate placement into English, mathematics, and chemistry courses is an important first step to academic success. Be sure to make your reservations to take the appropriate Placement/Qualifying exams so you can register for those courses in fall 2008. Your ACT English score can determine placement into freshman English, if you meet the criteria.
