English and Math Placements

All incoming students will be assessed based on the following criteria:

English Placements 

English placements will be determined based on averaging the High School Grade Point Averages (HSGPA) and 11th Grade English Scores or English Language Arts Regents.

Action Required: If you have not done so already, please have your high school send your official transcript to the Office of Admissions. We cannot accept transcripts directly from students.

Notification: You will be notified by email once your English placement has been finalized.

Math Placements 

Math Placment is currently closed for the spring 2026 semester

Math placement is determined in one of two ways, depending on your prior education:

If you have a high school diploma, a superintendent's letter for homeschooling, or a college degree: You will complete the Math Placement Survey

If you have a GED, High School Equivalency (HSE), or an international high school diploma: You will complete an in-person assessment using Stemify.

Notification: You will be notified by email once your Math placement has been finalized.

Students with College, AP or CLEP Credits

If you have earned a "C" or better in a college-level English or math course, or have AP or CLEP credits in these subjects, you may be able to waive the placement requirements.

To request a waiver: Please submit a Placement Requirements Waiver  and upload an unofficial college transcript or your official AP/CLEP score report for consideration.

Important: Only include college transcripts or AP/CLEP scores with your waiver request. We cannot use high school transcripts to review a placement waiver request
