Students may receive advanced placement credit for course work taken at the secondary school level. All requests for advanced placement credit should be forwarded to the Office of University Undergraduate Admissions and are reviewed by the faculty members of the department concerned. Grades of 4 or 5 on the College Board Advanced Placement Examinations receive both credit and placement as determined by the respective department. Students who elect to take courses at or below the level for which they have received advanced placement credits will have the advanced placement credits deleted from the computation of their total degree credits. Credit earned for advanced placement is not included in the cumulative grade-point average.
During New Student Orientation, entering students are tested in mathematical and verbal skills. These examinations are used as guides in determining the proper mathematics and English courses for which a student should be registered.
