10.2 Placement Tests

10.2.1 For First-Time Students

All applicants who cannot provide valid official scores for TOEFL (or its equivalent), must take the English Placement Test in addition to the Math Placement Test in order to assess the needs for remedial courses. If this is not provided, students will be placed in Intensive Level courses in Math and English.

Math Placement Test

  • Students may choose to register in the Math non-credit course without taking the Math Placement Test.
  • All other first-time students must take the Math Placement Test at UD. They may then register in the appropriate math course, as outlined in the table below:

Math Test Score and Placement

Math Placement Score Course Name
Score < 400 Intensive Pre-Math
Score ≥ 400 and ≤ 599 Math I for Business/Science
Score ≥ 600 Math II for Business/Science

Note: Candidates with borderline scores on the placement test are treated on a case-by-case basis.

10.2.2 English Placement Test

Students who do not have a valid English exam score must sit for the placement exam. Students who have expired exam scores that are more than two years old (even if the score exceeded the minimum required) are required to present a new valid score before admission.
