Placement Testing Information
WCSU uses the SAT or ACT scores for first year and transfer students to assist us in placing you at the appropriate level in Writing and Mathematics/Computer Science courses. Transfer students may be exempt if prior course work has been completed. Please refer to you credit evaluation for placement information. Any student wishing to place into a higher course than indicated by the SAT/ACT score may take the Accuplacer test. If you did not take the SAT or ACT and do not have prior college credit, you must take the Accuplacer test.
