Fees may be charged for assessment tests and/or tutoring. Students may enroll in courses for which they meet the prerequisites. Individuals placed into developmental courses should complete these classes as soon as possible since they provide foundational skills for success in higher-level courses. Changes to this document are effective beginning the first day of summer semester, May 5,2014. Placement for students admitted to the university prior to this day will be based on the current Assessment and Placement Standards document.
