course placement and assessments ASSESSMENTS COMPUTER ASSESSMENT To ensure that Liberty students are proficient in computer technology, the university requires all students to take an information technology course (INFT 110) or pass all areas (Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) of the computer assessment. Students who do not pass at least two areas of the computer assessment in their first semester must take INFT 110 within their first 45 credit hours, or within their first year if a transfer student. Students who pass all but one area of the assessment are required to take a 1-credit course within their first 45 credit hours (or within their first year if a transfer student) for the corresponding assessment they did not pass (PowerPoint-INFT 102, Excel-INFT 103, Word-INFT 104). Passing the computer assessment or INFT 110 will satisfy the technology competency requirement as listed on the Degree Completion Plan (DCP). Transfer students may substitute a computer application course for INFT 110 to satisfy the requirement. The computer assessment will be available at the beginning of the fall semester. Visit www.Liberty.edu/ComputerAssessment or email INFT@liberty.edu for more information regarding times and dates. MATH AND ENGLISH The Math and English Assessments are for proficiency and placement, and the results are useful in determining student class schedules. SAT/ACT scores are also used for class placement.* Students transferring in a college-level math or English class may be exempt from taking the assessment. Please note that students who are required to take the assessments will be unable to register for classes until they have completed them. PLACEMENT FOR ENGLISH
