Placement Testing Exemptions for Mathematics and English

Incoming students who meet any one of the following conditions are not required to complete the mathematics placement test: 

1. Took a mathematics Accuplacer® placement test at another institution within a year of acceptance to Stevenson University. 
2. Completed a foundational mathematics college course at another college/university equivalent to or higher than Stevenson's developmental MATH 005# course and earned a grade of "C" or better, or completed a college credit-bearing mathematics course at another college/university equivalent to or higher than Stevenson's MATH 135 course and earned a grade of "D" or better. Students who quality for this exemption and plan to major in medical laboratory sciences or have an intended major in the School of the Sciences should still consider completing the mathematics placement test to see if they can qualify for MATH 147 or MATH 220. 
3. Received an Advanced Placement score report of a 4 or 5 on the AP Statistics exam (exempts students unless their intended major is medical laboratory science or within the School of the Sciences), a 4 or 5 on the AP Calculus AB exams (exempts all students regardless of intended major.) 

Incoming students who meet any one of the following conditions are not required to complete the English placement test: 

1. Achieved a score of 550 or above on the SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing section. 
2. Achieved a score of a 44 or above combined on the ACT English and Reading subject tests. 
3. Took an English Accuplacer® placement test at another institution within a year of acceptance to Stevenson University.
4. Completed a credit-bearing English course or an equivalent college-level composition course at another college/university with a grade of "C" or better.
5. Received an Advanced Placement score report of a 4 or 5 on the English Language or the English Literature exam. Students may also be considered exempt from mathematics and/or English placement testing requirements based on the IB diploma programme. Stevenson University recognizes the IB diploma programmer and will grade credit for scores of 5 or higher in the HL courses only. No credit is given for courses taken at the subsidiary level or for courses that duplicate others taken for Advanced Placement credit. Students with questions about IB credit should contact the Registrar's Office for further assistance.
