Take Placement Tests

To ensure your student is in the right classes for their skill level, they can complete math and language arts placement tests. Once completed, an academic counselor will review the results and notify you if any changes are needed to your child's courses.

Placement tests for new, full-time students are accessible in Canvas between mid-June and the start of classes each year. Look for the WAC Hub course and follow the instructions posted there.
