athematics placement is mandatory for all university students who are seeking degrees. This means that students must make a satisfactory score on the placement test before continuing in MTH 131, MTH 141, MTH 153, or MTH 154. Those students scoring below the required minimum must satisfactorily complete MTH 105 before enrolling in any of the above courses. MTH 105 is a letter-graded course which carries three hours credit toward graduation. MTH 105 does not satisfy the core requirement in mathematics. The only exception to this placement policy would be for transfer students with some type of transferred mathematics course.

The placement test must be taken on-line. A letter you will receive from the Office of Information Technology will indicate your user name and PIN number; your PIN number is used to access MyStuff, as well as the math placement exam.

English 100: A study of writing at the sentence and paragraph level covering grammar topics such as parts of speech, punctuation, agreement, and common grammar errors.

English 101: A study of the fundamentals of composition in preparation for ENG 102. Emphasis is on writing personal and experiential essays. Some attention is also paid to issues of grammar, punctuation, and style.

English 102: A study in academic composition, primarily argumentative, analytical and research essays. Attention will be given to the evaluation, incorporation and citation of sources.

• If most of your answers came from column B or an equal combination of columns B and C, you should consider registering for English 101.
  
• If most of your answers came from column C, you should consider registering for English 102.
• If your answers were distributed more-or-less evenly across columns A, B, and C, you should consider registering for English 101.
