Placement Test Results and
Next Steps

Your Scoring Report

At the end of your ACCUPLACER® testing session, your test scores and placement results appear on the computer screen. Your proctor will print them for you. If you did not receive a printout of your score report, please contact the University Information Center at 302-356-4636.

Your Course Placement

Although you neither pass nor fail the placement tests, your scores are used to determine your course placement. Your first English and/or math course at Wilmington University is printed on your report:

• Students who demonstrate the need for skill development may be placed* in one of the following courses prior to their required freshman English or math course:
  • English Review (ENG 095)
  • English Essentials (ENG 110)
  • Math Review (MAT 095)
  • Math Essentials (MAT 110)
• Students who do not need development will be directed to register for the first English and/or math course required by their degree program.
• Any students who feel the need to review basic English or math skills may elect to enroll in either English Review (ENG 095) or Math Review (MAT 095) prior to taking the first Math or English course required by their degree program.

* Placement in an English or math course does not guarantee a reserved seat in a course. Your course placement only indicates which course you should take. Taking the placement test as early as possible before or during term registration is highly recommended.

Your Next Steps

1. Register for the math and/or English course listed on your score report using WebCampus.
• You may register for your required course online or in-person one hour after taking the placement test. (It takes up to one hour for your score to be added to your student record.)
2. For instructions on registering for courses, visit Registration.

Retesting

Retaking the ACCUPLACER® placement tests is not permitted.
