Placement Exam Information
Important: Each Averett student must take the math and foreign language exam prior to attending orientation. These exams are available online. Please use the instructions below:
Math Placement Exam
All new students (both freshmen and transfers) must complete the Math Placement Exam before New Student Orientation. The results of this exam will be used to help place you into the appropriate math course. Scores on this exam will not affect math credits that are being transferred in, but students transferring math credits in should still take the exam.
