English and Math Placement Assessments

English and math skills assessments are required for undergraduate students prior to registering for any math or English courses (also see Exemptions below). The results of these assessments permit the University to place students in the appropriate math or English course for their skill level.

• You should complete an assessment as early as possible prior to registering for courses. Placement results do not guarantee a reserved seat in any required courses.
• Skills assessments are only required prior to registering for freshman English and math courses.
• Students may register for any other courses for which English and math courses are not pre-requisites.

Skill Review and Skill-Building Courses

Students may choose to register for English Review (ENG 095) or Math Review (MAT 095) without taking a skills assessment.

• ENG 095 and MAT 095 are 0-credit courses.
• Upon successful completion of ENG 095, students may register for English Composition (ENG 121).
• Students choosing to take MAT 095 as their first Math course are also required to complete the related Math Essentials (MAT 110), for elective credit, with a grade of C or higher before taking or the first math course required for their degree program.

CTA 206 Competency Exam
