Notice regarding Placement Exams
Students who need to complete course work to address University course preparedness need to take the appropriate placement exam in order to have time to take summer courses to satisfy University requirements. The earlier you know your placement examination results, the more summer options you will have. Failure to complete the placement examination requirements can result in you not being permitted to register for fall classes.
If special accommodations for testing are needed due to a disability, please contact Services for Students with Disabilities directly at (951) 827-4538 (v/tty). Appropriate documentation of need for accommodations must be provided prior to approval of testing arrangements.
Placement examination fees for most tests will be applied to the student's fall quarter bill. If the fee will not be applied to the student's fall quarter bill, payment instructions will be given at the test. Students do not need to pay for exams on the test day.
