Students who are required to take a Math Placement Exam and/or Civics Exam will do so from their Canvas account. Tests are accessed through a dedicated course that will appear on the Canvas Dashboard.
⚠️Note: For newly enrolled or newly transferred students, access is not instantaneous; it may take several days for the exams to appear in Canvas due to the time needed to add student information to the required systems. If you have questions on eligibility for and/or access to any of the following tests, please reach out to your campus Registrar and/or your academic advisor.
