Assessment and Advisement WHAT IS THE PLACEMENT TEST REQUIREMENT? Applicants seeking admission to diploma or degree programs must meet the university placement test requirement. There is no placement test requirement for a certificate program. WILL SAT OR ACT SCORES MEET THE REQUIREMENT? Yes. Send us a copy of your test scores from either the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) of the College Entrance Examination Board or the American College Test (ACT) of the American College Testing Program. High school seniors should take these tests early in their senior year or in the spring or summer of their junior year. In order to have scores sent directly to Living University, enter our code as 5384 for SAT tests, or 6528 for ACT tests. Applicants who achieve scores less than 500 on the mathematics section and the critical reading section of the SAT or a composite score of less than 21 on the ACT, must also take the College Board’s ACCUPLACER placement test unless they have satisfactory transfer of English/mathematics/algebra credits. WHAT IS THE ACCUPLACER? The ACCUPLACER placement test consists of four sections and assesses a student’s achievement level in sentence skills, reading comprehension, mathematics, and algebra. The ACCUPLACER test is not a timed test and it is administered by computer. WHEN DO I HAVE TO TAKE THE ACCUPLACER? Normally ACCUPLACER must be taken before a student enrolls in ENG 111 or MATH 162. Satisfactory scores are prerequisite to enrollment in these courses. The requirement is waived for the 2008-2009 academic year but it will be in effect beginning with the fall 2009 semester.
