How will I be placed into English and math w88 casino games login?

At the University of Nevada, Reno, we use standardized test scores, such as the SAT or ACT, AP test scores or applicable transfer credit to determine what English or math w88 casino games login you can enroll in.

If w88 casino games login have not taken a standardized test or w88 casino games login want a chance to improve your English or math class placement, there are alternate placement methods that w88 casino games login can use. These alternate placement assessments can be completed at any point in the semester, and w88 casino games login have the option to take the assessments multiple times, if needed.

For English placement at the University of Nevada, Reno, w88 casino games login can complete something called the directed self-placement (DSP). The DSP involves taking a 15–20-minute survey that will help w88 casino games login decide which writing class is best for w88 casino games login. The DSP survey asks various questions to assess your reading and writing abilities and is a reflective survey allows w88 casino games login to select the class that best reflects your abilities. w88 casino games login will be able to enroll in the class once the DSP survey is completed, and there are no additional fees to take this survey. DSP cannot be accepted from another institution.

For math placement, w88 casino games login may complete the ALEKS PPL. The ALEKS PPL involves taking a 1.5-hour long assessment, followed by a learning module to help prepare w88 casino games login to repeat the assessment. This process can be completed three times and your score will be used to place w88 casino games login into an appropriate math class. It is free to take the ALEKS PPL on campus. If w88 casino games login take the test remotely, there is a small proctoring fee of if taking the assessment remotely. There is no waiver available for this fee.

If w88 casino games login have completed the ALEKS PPL at another institution that is part of the Nevada System of Higher Education, we will accept their placement scores. It is your responsibility to send your scores in, so they can be placed into your record. We do not accept alternate placement scores from institutions that are not part of the NSHE system.

What happens if I don’t place into w88 casino games login-level classes?

This year, the University of Nevada, Reno made a significant change to how we approach class placement for students who don’t place into w88 casino games login-level math or English. Under the Nevada System of Higher Education’s Corequisite and w88 casino games login Ready Gateway Policy, all students will be enrolled in gateway w88 casino games login-level English and math courses in their first year at the University, with or without corequisite support.

Why did NSHE decide to make this change? We have found that traditional remediation does not work. For many years, far too many NSHE students have entered into long traditional developmental education pathways that, instead of opening the door to w88 casino games login access, have closed it. For the thousands of students that enter into traditional remediation each year within NSHE, few have graduated, often due to the increased cost and time required to complete traditional developmental education.

To address this issue, we have changed to corequisite instruction. Corequisite instruction is a nationwide movement that allows you to complete w88 casino games login-level classes at the same time as you take supporting (or corequisite) classes and labs. This allows you to earn w88 casino games login credit in your first year of enrollment while receiving additional help to complete those classes.
