In order to support your academic success, we recommend that entering students take English and/or Math placement exams. Placement exams assess your academic readiness for each subject and ensure you are placed into courses that will appropriately challenge your readiness for courses in English, Mathematics & Chemistry.
Placement exam scores do not grant course credit, rather are used to assess readiness for initial English, Mathematics & Chemistry courses at Campbell. Placement exams must be completed no later than January 6 in order to be used for Spring course placement.
Campbell鈥檚 placement exams are offered through ACCUPLACER and you have a few options for where you complete your placement exam.
