Placement Testing
The Admissions Office completes Mathematics and English course placement through official transcript review. Completing a placement test may be necessary at the discretion of Admissions and to challenge the placement level. Guidelines for placement are set by Cayuga Community College mathematics and English faculty. Guidelines for math placement include a review of high school mathematics grades, transferring equivalent college mathematics courses from an accredited institution, or completing a mathematics placement test. Guidelines for English placement include the review of high school grade point averages, transferring equivalent college English courses from an accredited institution, or completing an English placement test.
Cayuga’s Admissions Office will notify students at the time of acceptance if testing is required. NOTE: Acceptance by the College does not guarantee admission into any given degree program. You may be required to take additional preparatory coursework before acceptance into a specific program. Advisement regarding special preparation will be done during the registration process. However, you are encouraged to meet with an admissions representative to discuss any special preparation needed.
Students interested in Honors Study should meet with an Admissions Representative or an Academic Coach.
