    Other Important Notes:

     

  1. Any student who wants their test scores processed for proficiency credit must provide Measurement and Evaluation with an ORIGINAL score report. Either the student can ask the testing company to send the score report directly to us, or the student can bring us their own original score report, which the testing company mailed to the student’s home address. Our office is Room 247 Armory Bldg, and we are open 8:30 to noon and 1:00 to 5:00 Monday through Friday.

    2.  

  2. Advisors and others: Please do not send us photocopies of a student’s AP or IB or ACT scores through campus mail. We cannot accept photocopies of score reports even if they come from you.

    3.  

  3. ALEKS Math placements are valid for five months only. Students who plan to postpone taking a math course till Spring 2009 must wait until September 2008 to log in.

    4.  

  4. Chemistry and foreign language placement recommendations are valid for one year only, meaning through pre-registration for the student's third semester.

  6. The College Board announced that it will be discontinuing the AP Computer Science AB exam, the AP French Literature exam, the AP Latin Literature exam, and the AP Italian exam after the 2008-2009 academic year.
