2) Placement exams: These exams will be used by your advisor to place you in the correct courses. Click on this link to get started!  

  • Math Placement Exam: This exam will determine which math class is right for you. This exam is Mandatory for all incoming students to the university unless you are transferring in with math credit or are bringing in AP or IB credit.
  • Chemistry Placement Exam: This exam is required for students who are interested in majoring in Biology, Chemistry, or Computer Engineering. Again, if you are transferring in with chemistry credit from another school or have AP or IB credit, you may not need this exam. Please check in with your assigned advisor before taking the exam. 
  • Foreign Language Placement Exams: These exams are for those who have some proficiency in either French or Spanish and desire to place out of one or both required courses. If you would like an assessment for a language other than French or Spanish, please contact your advisor. They will help you contact the correct people.

Please note that these exams require time for grading. You are encouraged to take your Placement Exams prior to your attendance at Golden Bull Academy (JCSU’s New Student Orientation program). Scores can take up to two (2) business days to be processed and available to your advisor. (NOTE: You must take your Placement Exams before your course schedule can be created!) 

3) Once you have declared your major (if applicable) and taken your Placement Exams, you are ready to contact your advisor to make your schedule. Please contact the advisor listed above.
