ADVANCED PLACEMENT
A placement examination is a departmental examination which is given to determine a student's level of competence in a subject and to place that student in the course where the probability of his or her success seems greatest. Performance on placement examinations does not result in the awarding of academic credit, but students who successfully place into advanced level courses may, with departmental approval, be able to establish advanced standing credit in lower division courses. For specific information about procedures regarding advanced placement and establishing advanced standing credit, contact the respective departments.
