FAQs

What placement is recommended for students not program ready in Reading and Writing/Sentence Skills?

Students must meet the stated ACCUPLACER score minimums to be program ready; otherwise, placement directs them to required learning support (tutoring lab) and provisional coursework such as ENGL 0090/ENGL 1010 or ENGL 1101 depending on the table and readiness conditions.

How does the document handle Math placement for programs that do not require Algebra versus those that do?

It separates math pathways: one table for programs not requiring Algebra and another for programs requiring Algebra or an equivalent. Each pathway provides score ranges that determine whether students receive tutoring lab placement or program-ready placement for the relevant provisional or college-level math course.

Can students be exempt from ACCUPLACER, and what alternatives are listed?

Yes. The document allows acceptable SAT or ACT scores in lieu of ACCUPLACER, and it also provides GED cutoffs and Georgia Milestone requirements for English/Language Arts. It further notes special cases for test availability under COVID-19.
