Academic advising sessions will be held during New Student Orientation to enable students to meet with their advisors and to select courses for the Fall 2011 Semester. Each student is assigned an academic advisor to provide information and guidance in selecting, planning, and completing an academic program.

• Placement Test
  • All students must take a mathematics placement test regardless of major. Mathematics placement testing will be conducted during New Student Orientation. Students will be permitted to use calculators during the math placement test. 
  • Foreign language placement will occur during New Student Orientation to determine the level where students' skills can best be applied. Students who achieve a high score in the foreign language placement test will be invited to take a competency test at a later date during the summer. If a student passes the competency test, he/she will not be required to take six credits in a foreign language as a requirement in the liberal arts core.
