Frequently Asked Questions

As a Freshmen, do I have to take any placement exams?

Yes. There are two tests new freshman students are required to take before being allowed to register for classes at any California State University (CSU) campus. These tests are the Entry Level Mathematics (ELM) and English Placement Test (EPT). You may have already satisfied these requirements through your SAT, ACT, Advanced Placement test scores or with certain transfer courses.
