New approach to placement testing
Students have been testing since May 1.
Placement test results are being compiled and regularly uploaded
into BANNER by the Registrar’s Office.
Placement results will appear as they always have on the
IntroDUCKtion Advising screen.
The Chinese and Japanese placement tests will be available on Day 2 at the Testing Center. Students who register their intent to take a Chinese or Japanese placement test will be emailed information about when and where to take their test prior to their arrival for IntroDUCKtion.
Large group placement testing will not be needed during IntroDUCKtion.
Students receive a series of email communications from Orientation focusing their attention on the need to complete placement testing prior to their IntroDUCKtion session.
The Testing Center will be open and available for drop-in testing on Day 2 for any student who needs to take a placement test.
