PLACEMENT TESTS

What is a placement test?

Students arrive at Coastal Carolina University with a variety of academic backgrounds. Placement tests for mathematics and foreign languages (Spanish, French, and German) have been developed to assist students and advisors as they plan course schedules. These placement tests provide a suggested starting course in the particular subject.

Math Placement Guidelines

All incoming freshmen are required to take the math placement test. Transfer students who do not transfer in credit for a course at or above the college algebra level are also required to take the test.

Foreign Language Placement Guidelines

You will need your University username and Password in order to take the placement tests.

Search for your Coastal Carolina University Username and PIN.

Important Notice!

You are required to take the placement tests prior to attending an Orientation session during the summer.

Please note that failure to complete the placement tests prior to Orientation may result in your inability to enroll in a math or foreign language course.

After completing the tests, it would be prudent to print out your placement results and bring them with you to orientation.

Incoming freshmen are also asked to fill out a fall course preference form that is used by advisors to assist in scheduling classes. Students are encouraged to complete this on-line form at least two weeks prior to attending their orientation session.
