If you’re admitted as a transfer student, you may be required to take certain placement exams before enrolling in university courses; your academic advisor will notify you about required exams before you register for classes.

Other placement exams, including Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and CLEP Subject Exams, are optional. You may attempt to earn credit by examination in any undergraduate course, provided you have neither passed nor failed an equivalent course.

Looking for information about degrees, majors, program options, course schedules, and related issues? You'll find it on the Office of the Registrar site.
