All first-time students area required to take the assessment tests unless you have completed an ACT exam in the last two years with a subscore at or above 23 in English, 24 in mathematics, or 24 in reading. All students may need to take a writing, mathematics, and/or reading assessment test.

If you are a transfer student, consult with your advisor about which of the assessment test you may be required to take.
