Course Placement Policies
Minnesota State University, Mankato's course placement policies for college level math and English
New entering first year and transfer students will be placed into math and English courses using existing measures that include high school GPA, MCA, ACT, SAT, previous college level course work, or existing Accuplacer scores. International students without these determining factors should consult with an academic advisor and/or schedule a placement exam. PSEO students will be placed using the same course placement measures as new entering students.
The following rubric will be used for domestic students that have graduated high school LESS than ten years ago:
