Placement Testing
All students without U.S. college-level credit for English composition and math are required to take the English and math placement tests. Students will be placed in appropriate English and math courses based on their results and cannot register for classes until they have received their test results. Students required to take tests will be notified at check-in for orientation.
Course Registration and Payment of Fees
After students have attended the full orientation program and completed the placement tests, if required, they will meet with an advisor to schedule their classes. After selecting classes, students will get a written confirmation of registration and payment information.
