PLACEMENT
Required
Course Placement And Student Success
Research shows that when students are
correctly placed in classes of
appropriate level, they are more likely
to succeed at college and stay in school
to completion. Our goal at Dixie is to
help you find classes that best meet
your needs and skill levels. Dixie State
College has required placement in
composition (writing), mathematics and
reading courses.
To decide which course you should
take, you only need to know your ACT
(or CPT or SAT or COMPASS) score in
math, English, and reading.
Advanced
Placement (AP) or College Level Examination
Program (CLEP)If
you have passed an English or math AP test
with a score of 3 or higher, or if you have
been awarded appropriate CLEP credit in
English and Math, you may be placed in a
higher course. Your AP and CLEP credit must be
posted and evaluated at Dixie State College.
See the advisement center for details.
PLACEMENT
CHALLENGE If
you feel you have been placed in a class that
is too advanced or too basic for your skills,
contact either your instructor of the
advisement center. If you feel that the course
is too basic for your needs, you may
demonstrate your skills and challenge the
placement by retaking an academic placement
test (usually the CPT), or in English you may
demonstrate your skills by writing an essay
under exam conditions. You may challenge your
placement in English 0990, but not in 1010.
These placement challenge tests may be taken
at the testing center on the second floor of
the Browning Building, #209.
