New Student Orientation

Math/Language Placement Exams

Math Placement Exam
First time first-year students must take the math placement exam during new student orientation to determine the appropriate level for placement in mathematic courses. It is not possible to fail the exam. However, students are encouraged to take the exam seriously. Your score will determine your placement. Hence, a low score may result in your being placed in a lower-level mathematics course that may slow your progress towards your degree. For information about the exam and to view a sample exam, you may visit the Mathematics Department Web site; or
contact the department at 404.270.5832.

Foreign Language Placement Exam
Offered at the beginning of each semester, placement exams are mandatory for any student with one year or more of foreign language in high school; the results are used to place the student at the appropriate level in a foreign language course from 101 through 202 or 222. In cases of exceptional proficiency, a student may be exempted from the core language requirement and placed in an advanced course.

No credit hours are awarded a student who exempts a language course through the departmental placement process; however, credit hours may be awarded on the basis of work at another institution or Advanced Placement (AP) scores. No placement exam, and consequently no possible exemption, is given for languages that are not taught through the 202 level in the Atlanta University Center schools.
