After You Test
After you have completed your placement testing, you will receive an e-mail that provides your test results and directs you to do a Virtual First Advising Session (VFAS), which explains your test results and next steps. You will view a PowerPoint presentation, take a quiz, create a schedule and schedule a visit with an advisor for approval. For more information, review the First Advising Session's frequently asked questions.
According to Maryland state regulations, test results are valid for two years. If you have not initiated course work within two years, you are required to retest.
Re-testing
In your advisor meeting, after completing your VFAS, your advisor will answer your questions and address any concerns you have regarding placement test results. Occasionally, re-testing is requested. You are encouraged to prepare for the tests so that this is not necessary. One retest per subject is permitted. The fee for retaking the battery of tests is $25. The fee for retaking a single subject test is $10.
Retesting is not permitted once you begin coursework in a particular subject area. If you stop out, the math chairperson will require you to retest. We recommend that once you begin taking math and English courses, you keep going!
See an advisor for re-test procedure details. Make your retest appointment by calling Admissions at 410-386-8430.
