Placement Testing
Placement tests are administered for placement purposes only to all new undergraduate students, including transfer students, upon entrance in math, sentence skills, computer proficiency and foreign language. Students must present a photo ID for admittance to their placement testing session.
The results of these assessments will help generate an appropriate class schedule based on individual student skill levels and abilities. The results of the sentence skills tests are used for institutional research.
Testing for Credit
By successfully completing one of the options offered (Challenge, CLEP or Portfolio Assessment) undergraduate students can earn course credit for previous academic and/or prior learning experiences. Graduate students can satisfy foundation course requirements with the Challenge or CLEP options (either option must be taken during the first term of graduate enrollment). You can accelerate your program of study and take fewer courses to earn your degree, saving you time and money.
The following are policies and procedures you should know before taking a Challenge Exam, CLEP Exam, and/or applying for Portfolio Assessment (PL) Credit:
o You should consult with an academic counselor before applying for any of the exams/PL credits
o All exams/PL credits are for academic credit, and they all carry a fee
o All application and processing fees are nonrefundable
o All standardized exams/PL credits must fall within the residency requirements for each degree, and you must present a valid picture ID when testing
o The university recognizes up to a maximum of 45 credits earned through Prior Learning Assessment
o After you are determined to be eligible for any standardized exam/PL, you will be notified by e-mail to your J&W account of the time and location of your exam/Portfolio Development seminar
o Portfolio Assessment and Challenge Exams cannot be repeated if failed and may not be substituted for a class previously attempted, or a class in which the student is presently scheduled
