Placement with High School Records

Using your high school GPA and coursework, combined with your education goals, we set you up for success by placing you as the tables below show. Your counselor will assist you in creating a Student Education Plan using this placement and your goals.

If you don't have U.S. high school records, did not complete at least 11th grade in a U.S. high school, graduated from a non-U.S. high school or you are an international students, that's fine, we will have you complete the Guided Self-Placement process instead.
