Complete Your Math Placement Assessment
Assessments help determine at what level you begin instruction in that subject at Valpo. When you register for FOCUS, you will choose whether you would like to submit your SAT/ACT scores for your math placement or if you would like to take the placement exam. Students who submit SAT/ACT scores as part of the admission process are automatically assigned a math placement level. Students who did not submit SAT/ACT scores as part of the admission process, or who submitted scores and wish to try to raise their math placement level, need to take the math placement assessment. Complete your assessments online at valpo.edu/admission-aid/ admittedstudents/focus/placement-assessments/.
Complete Your World Language Placement
If you took a language in high school and wish to continue that language in college, complete your world language placement exam prior to your FOCUS session.
