Advisors assist with understanding course placement:

• Placement is required prior to registration in certain courses such as Math & English
• Placement is determined using students’ evaluated high school transcript, appropriate ACT scores, or ACCUPLACER Placement Test results.
  • All scores must be no more than five years old.
  • The ACCUPLACER may be taken and used for placement if high school transcripts/ACT scores are not sufficient or older than five years.
  • ACCUPLACER is given by appointment only and may be scheduled by visiting gadsdenstate.edu > Future Students > Testing Services.
• Faculty advisors will interpret placement in the academic advising appointment.

Be sure to set up an advising appointment by email or phone. Drop-in advisement cannot be guaranteed.
