Academic Placement Testing Requirements

1. Academic Assessment

   It is essential that all new undergraduate students begin their academic careers with a strong foundation. To ensure this, UIW places students into the appropriate math and English courses based upon test scores submitted with the application. To view the UIW course placement policy, visit the Admissions website at www.uiw.edu/admissions.  

2. Competence in English

   All students whose grade in Freshman Composition I or II is below C must repeat the course. Students receiving a grade below C in Freshman Composition I may not register for Freshman Composition II until successfully completing Freshman Composition I with a grade of C or higher.
