Course Placement

• A recent ACT score or a COMPASS test score will be used to determine your placement in English, reading, and mathematics.  If you are a transfer student, placement will depend on what you may have taken at your previous college.
• If you're not happy with your placement in English, reading, or mathematics, you may take (or retake) the COMPASS test once to try to get a better placement.  To make an appointment to take the COMPASS test, contact the Student Services office (105 West Building) at (419)433-5560, ext. 20676.
• It is suggested that you make every effort to take your initial English, reading, and mathematics courses during your first semester at BGSU.  However, depending on when you actually register for courses, some of these may not be available because they are filled.  If that happens, plan to take them in your second semester.
• A basic word processing class (CS 180) is required with your first English class at BGSU Firelands, so don't forget to plan for that course as well.
