*Credit will be given to students who have completed MTH 151 (or equivalent) or higher by the deadline or who have placed out of these MTE units on the current VPT or ASSET.
**Credit will be given to students who have completed college-level English or who have placed out of these ENF units on the current VPT or ASSET. All required ENF courses must be completed before the deadline so the student is
ready to enter ENG 111; however, ENG 111 does not have to be completed prior to the application deadline.

qualifying official ACT, SAT, or AP scores for Math and/or English will be exempt from taking the respective VPT test(s). All other students (including those who have taken older versions of the placement tests but who have not yet
placed into or completed college-level Math or English) will be required to take the VPT. If the student places into MTE units 1, 2, 3, and/or 4 and/or ENF units 1, 2, or 3, these courses will have to be completed by the deadline.
