BEFOR E YOU A R R I V E Course Placement and Assessments

COUR SE PL ACEMENT A ND 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 the computer assessment. New students who opt to take the computer assessment will automatically be added to the assessment on Blackboard. Find out more at Liberty.edu/ComputerAssessment. 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. Passing the computer assessment or INFT 110 will satisfy the technology competency requirement as listed on the Degree Completion Plan. Transfer students may substitute a computer application course for INFT 110 to satisfy the requirement. Visit Liberty.edu/ComputerAssessment or email INFT@liberty.edu for more information.

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 ENGL 100: English placement score below 70 ENGL 101: English placement score of 70 or higher Placement For Math MATH 100: Math placement score below 70 MATH 110: Math placement score of 70 or higher

MATH 115, 117, 121, 125, or 201: Math placement score of 75 or higher MATH 126 and 128: A 600+ on SAT math, a 27+ on ACT math, or passing MATH 121 with a grade of a “C” or higher MATH 131: A 600+ on SAT math, a 27+ on ACT math, or passing MATH 128 with a grade of “C” or higher * SAT or ACT scores can be used to meet prerequisites. Visit Liberty.edu/ASIST and log into your account for additional information.

CLEP, ICE, and Course Scheduling Information

COLLEGE LEVEL EX AMINATION PROGR AM (CLEP) and the Institutional Challenge Examination (ICE) CLEP and ICE tests offer a unique opportunity to gain college credit for knowledge you have already acquired. SAT and ACT scores are good predictors of how you’ll perform on the CLEP/ICE exams, and students who score well on these tests typically do well on CLEP/ICE exams. For additional information, go to Liberty.edu/CLEP or Liberty.edu/ICEResidential.

COUR SE SCHEDULING INFOR M ATION Visit Liberty.edu/Registration to view course sequences for most majors. If you wish to request a prerequisite override for courses other than math, submit a request to the appropriate academic department chair. Request a prerequisite override for general education math (MATH 110, 115, or 121) by emailing the College of General Studies (DeMoss Hall, Room 3036) at CGS@liberty.edu. For higher math courses, contact the Mathematics Department at (434) 582-2093 or math@liberty.edu. We encourage you to take a math course during your first year. If you have been accepted on academic caution, you must take MENT 101, Mentoring for University Transition, and register for no more than 14 credits your first semester. Schedules that do not conform to this policy will be adjusted by the Registrar’s Office. If you have been accepted on academic caution and have questions about class registration, contact the College of Applied Studies & Academic Success at (434) 592-4110, Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m., or email CASAS@liberty.edu. Avoid courses that duplicate Advanced Placement or CLEP/ICE test credits or classes you have already transferred in. It is also important to schedule classes during the time of day that you are at your best. A typical, full-time schedule is 12–18 credit hours; however, first-semester students should avoid taking more than 15 credit hours unless otherwise instructed. Schedule your classes according to the requirements for your intended major or interest area. For degree completion plans describing course requirements for your major, visit Liberty.edu/DCPs. If you are undecided on your major, you should take foundational studies courses. For a list of courses required of all Liberty students, visit Liberty.edu/CASAS.
