NDSCS English and Math Course Placement
Placement of students in courses that most closely match their abilities results in a greater likelihood that these students will be successful in pursuing and completing their programs. Following the North Dakota University System Procedure 413.1 and the North Dakota State Board of Higher Education Policy 413, students are placed into appropriate English and Math courses based on qualifying exam scores. While ACT and SAT scores are not required for admission purposes, they can still be used for placement purposes. If a student does not have ACT, SAT, or NDUS qualifying exam scores, they will be encouraged to take the ACCUPLACER exam. If a student has multiple scores, the highest score will be used for placement.
