Testing
The ACT/SAT scores of freshmen and transfer students who have not earned college-level English and Math credits are used to determine entry-level courses for English composition and mathematics. Trevecca accepts a student's highest composite score for scholarship purposes and highest Math, English, and Reading scores for placement. ACT superscoring will be accepted for scholarship purposes and course placement only. Certain entering students will be required to take developmental studies courses based on their scores.
Freshmen students who have not earned college-level mathematics and/or English credits or submitted their official ACT/SAT scores must complete placement test in the appropriate area(s) prior to (or during) orientation and may be required to enroll in appropriate developmental courses. ACT superscoring will be accepted for scholarship purposes and course placement only.
A new student will be placed in an entry-level course based on the following:
