Academic Placement
The university holds that some system of granting placement to qualified students is both necessary and just. It is not the desire of the university to require students to repeat material in which they are already competent. However, the university does not believe in acceleration for its own sake; it believes that time is often essential to both the broad and thorough understanding integral to the education of the whole person.
There are three standard examination systems which the university accepts. It also considers the high school record, entrance and achievement scores and various departmental measures in judging the levels of capability of the student. No more than a total of 32 credits will be awarded through placement and dual enrollment. In other words, the student must complete the equivalent of at least three years of full time college study beyond high school.
