Greetings from UW-River Falls!
We are pleased that you have chosen the University of Wisconsin-River Falls for your college education. The following information explains the Regional Placement Testing Program. These tests are your next step in the enrollment process.
• What? Placement tests are used to place you into appropriate English and math classes. All students are required to complete these tests, unless they have taken a college course in math and/or English composition. It is important that you do your best on these tests. If your scores are low, you will be required to take remedial classes.
• Where? There are test centers throughout Wisconsin . You can take these tests at any test center listed; you do not need to take them at the UW school you plan to attend.
• When? Check the Regional Testing Site Schedule for the dates. There are several dates available in March and April. Plan to arrive by 8:00 am. Late arrivals may not enter rooms once testing has begun so please be on time.
• How? Starting on February 1, 2008, you can register online at http://www.testing.wisc.edu/ . Click on the Regional Placement Testing Program link and follow the directions. You will not be mailed a confirmation letter, so be sure to print off the information when you register.
UW-River Falls class registration for new freshmen will be held on June 9,10,12,13,16,17,19, 20. You will receive your placement scores at the registration program.
