Testing
The ACT/SAT scores of freshmen are used to determine entry-level courses for English composition, mathematics, and reading. Trevecca accepts a student's highest composite score but cannot combine scores from separate tests. Certain entering students will be required to take developmental studies courses based on their scores.
A new student will be placed in an entry-level course based on the following:
