PLACEMENT EXAMINATIONS
FMU administers placement tests to all new freshmen and transfer students who
have not received credit for an introductory, college-level English. Placement
testing is mandatory. The test is administered by the FMU Office of Counseling
and Testing. Appointments can be made by calling 843-673-9707. Failure to take
the test could result in automatic placement into a course that does not count
as credit toward general education requirements.
English Composition Exemption ExaminationsAll freshmen are required
to have an English placement score on file either in the Office of Advising
and Retention or the Office of Counseling and Testing. See the description of
"Freshman English" in this catalog for further information on placement
in composition courses. Students may challenge placement in English 100, 111,
or 112 by taking a written examination before the beginning of the semester.
This examination takes two hours and costs $15. Information is available from
the Office of Counseling and Testing
