Introduction  \nThe College Advisor's Handbook is designed to assist college and program advisors in understanding the function of the tests that comprise the Pre-enrollment Evaluation Placement (PEP) Testing Program.  \nThe major purpose of this Handbook is to provide information that enables you to  \n(1) advise new incoming UIC students as to their strengths and weaknesses, and (2) allows you to create a program of study which includes the correct match of their abilities and the appropriate academic courses.  \nThe overall goal of the PEP Testing Program continues to be to increase retention of new UIC students. By evaluating the students’ abilities and then providing academic course placements that will most closely match their skills and thereby increase the probability that our students will succeed in their college courses.  \nThe next section of the Handbook describes the PEP Testing Program for 2026 and briefly reviews the PEP tests.  \nII. The 2026 PEP Testing Program  \nA. General Information  \nThe Pre-enrollment Evaluation Placement (PEP) Testing program consists ofa series of placement tests administered to accepted UIC students prior to their enrollment in courses. The tests required for most students are Academic Writing, Mathematics, and Foreign Language. In addition, students in certain colleges and majors may be required to take a placement test in Chemistry/Physics. Computer Science is an optional test based on previous coursework and is limited to certain majors. The PEP program includes the administration of placement tests in 12 languages, including the Korean and Chinese languages placement examinations. Other languages not offered by the PEP Testing program may be offered by the New York University (NYU) Language Proficiency Program at the recommendation of a UIC advisor. The cost of the NYU exam varies and must be paid directly to NYU.  \nB. Participation in PEP Testing  \nWho participates in the PEP Testing program?  \nMost beginning ~~UIC~~ Freshmen are required to take the basic (Academic Writing) test, prior to enrollment in first-semester courses. However, new students are not required to take the Academic Writing placement test if UIC has an official score for one of the following:  \n• ACT English score of 27 or higher; OR  \n• SAT Evidence-Based Reading + Writing score of 630 or higher; OR  \n• AP English Language & Composition with a score of 3-5; OR  \n• IB English Language A: Language and Literature Higher or Standard Level with a score of 6-7  \nNote: There are no exemptions for any other tests based on SAT/ACT/IB/AP scores. A new process has been put in place to handle test scores not posted, UIC dual credit and college credit in English. A preliminary test has been added that will ask student questions.
