Placement tests are required only for incoming students who intend to take calculus, Spanish, Latin, or French in their first year. All students needing to take one or more placement tests will be mailed their user id and log-in instructions.
Foreign Language Placement Testing
Students who have taken Latin, Spanish, or French in high school and will continue taking the same language at LC must take the Foreign Language Placement Test to determine the level at which they will begin their foreign language study.
Math Placement Testing
Only those students who plan to take calculus must take the Math Placement Test to determine at which math level to begin.
NOTE: If you have trouble logging into Blackboard or need additional assistance to complete the assessment or placement tests, there will be time available at each SOAR session.
