Course Placement & Testing

Incoming students may need to complete a placement process to determine their first course in writing, mathematics and modern language/American Sign Language. Read below to determine if you need to complete a placement process. If so, these should be completed before your orientation.

* The University reserves the right to change placement criteria at any time.

Placement Testing

写作安排

For writing placement, most students will complete the 写作安置问卷. Students are exempt from this process if they meet one or more of the following criteria:

SAT Writing or Evidence-Based Reading and Writing score of 620 or higher
ACT英语成绩28分或以上
AP English and Language Composition score of 3 or higher
International Baccalaureate Extended Essay (IBEE) test grade of B or higher
Course from another institution deemed equivalent to WRT 1050 or WRT 1060

如果你不符合以上任何一个标准， 请填写写作安排问卷 如果可能的话，至少在入职前一周.

Important note: students can only take the 写作安置问卷 once.

数学定位

If your intended major is math/science, health sciences, education, business or engineering, you are strongly encouraged to submit SAT/ACT scores or complete the math placement exam. Follow the 一步一步的指导 参加ALEKS PPL数学分班评估.
View the placement chart to determine your math placement based on your SAT/ACT score and/or math placement exam score. 如果你对你的数学成绩不满意, you have the option to re/attempt OU’s math placement exam up to five times to try to place at a higher level.

有关其他数学课程信息，请访问 Department of Mathematics and Statistics Placement and Prerequisites page. If possible, please complete the placement assessment at least a week before your orientation.

Important note: students can take the math placement test up to five times.

Placement into Modern Language or American Sign Language

Oakland University has a language requirement for all students as a part of the general education curriculum. Students who have taken a college-level language class at an accredited institution have satisfied this requirement. Read below about placement testing for modern languages or American Sign Language.

Modern Languages

Students needing the language placement exam are those who have no previous college coursework in a language, 但必须有高中的中文课程, French, German or Spanish and who intend to satisfy the language requirement by continuing in this language.

Students with no previous high school or college-level language experience do not need this test.

法语、德语、汉语或西班牙语
If you took French, German, Chinese or Spanish in high school and wish to continue in that language at Oakland, take the 网上分班考试在定向之前，使用密码grizzlies1. Remember to bring a copy of your results with you to orientation.

Japanese or Arabic
如果你学过日语或阿拉伯语，请联系现代语言文学系电话:(248)370-2060或到O'Dowd Hall 372室.

美国手语(ASL)

没有接受过正式美国手语训练的学生, 在日常生活中不用美国手语, 或者有一年的高中美国手语, do not need to schedule a placement interview and can enroll into COM 1500 – Introduction to American Sign Language. Students interested in placement into COM 1501 and higher are required to schedule a placement interview.

To schedule an appointment for assessment, email the Communication Program and ASL Coordinator, Dr. Robert Sidelinger, at [email protected] 附下列资料:

If you have had two or more years in high school (no college or university ASL courses), submit your transcripts and relevant course syllabi (if appropriate).
If you have an extensive ASL background and use ASL in daily life but have not taken any formal courses, please provide details in your email about your background and experience with ASL.

The placement interview has been carefully calibrated specifically to align with the courses and the instruction offered at Oakland University. 更多信息，请访问 Department of Communication, Journalism and Public Relations website.

数学的位置

All new students are placed into a mathematics class based on their SAT或ACT数学分项成绩或通过填写数学分班评估 (ALEKS PPL). Please review the chart below to determine your math placement.
