New approach to placement testing

Students have been testing since May 1.

Placement test results are being compiled and regularly uploaded

into BANNER by the Registrar’s Office.

Placement results will appear as they always have on the

IntroDUCKtion Advising screen.

The Chinese and Japanese placement tests will be available on Day 2 at the Testing Center. Students who register their intent to take a Chinese or Japanese placement test will be emailed information about when and where to take their test prior to their arrival for IntroDUCKtion.

Large group placement testing will not be needed during IntroDUCKtion.

Students receive a series of email communications from Orientation focusing their attention on the need to complete placement testing prior to their IntroDUCKtion session.

The Testing Center will be open and available for drop-in testing on Day 2 for any student who needs to take a placement test.

Placement testing during IntroDUCKtion

Important changes

Management and administration of the new online math

placement test has shifted to the Math Department. Mike Price

and Jennifer Thorenson are the main contacts.

All students attending IntroDUCKtion have been encouraged to

take the math placement test.

There is no fee for taking a math placement test.

The Math 111 Readiness Quiz will not be offered as part of

IntroDUCKtion.

Depending on courses and test scores, students may use AP or IB credits toward honors college math, science,

multicultural, and second language requirements, applicable major requirements, or university electives.

However, AP and IB credits do not count toward Clark Honors College 200-level courses, including HC 207H, HC

209H, and the literature and history courses.

• Will the student with a non-science major need to take the HC 207H and HC 209H?

No. Taking one or the other will satisfy requirement.

• Does the student need to take HC 207H or HC 209H during fall term?

No. Take the course at any point, but prior to graduation.

• Where is the list of approved UO math and science courses that will also fulfill the CHC math

and science requirement?

See the Faculty Advising Manual or CHC website:

http://honors.uoregon.edu/content/graduation-requirements
