Placement Tests<\/strong><\/p>\n The Learning Center is responsible for the placement of those students who are admitted with deficiencies in English, math, and reading.\u00a0 Each student\u2019s placement in English, math, and reading is determined based on his score on Computerized Placement Test (CPT) through Canvas.\u00a0 Each of our placement tests is developed to correlate with its corresponding course; therefore, we cannot accept placement scores from other colleges.<\/p>\n The placement tests are administered each day, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.\u00a0 Students should visit or call the Learning Center after receiving a letter or email from the Admissions Office.\u00a0 Learning Center staff administer the tests and make placement recommendations based on the resulting scores.<\/p>\n The English, reading and math placement tests are not timed. \u00a0Students are encouraged to arrive early to avoid rushing through the tests.<\/p>\n The placement test can also be taken from an off-campus location using the Respondus lockdown browser and a webcam.\u00a0 For information on taking the placement test from an off-campus location, please contact the Learning Center at (580) 745-2990 or by e-mail at learningcenter@se.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n Math Department Pre-Tests<\/strong><\/p>\n College Algebra Departmental Pre-test<\/em> 1.\u00a0 Order of Operations Trigonometry Departmental Pre-test<\/em> 1.\u00a0 Solve Linear Equations-B Calculus Departmental Pre-test<\/em> 1.\u00a0 Solve Linear Equations-B Residual ACT<\/strong><\/p>\n Potential students who are interested in taking the Residual ACT can contact Kevin Faulk via email at kfaulk@se.edu. These tests are given upon request. The testing materials must be ordered on an as needed basis . Pleases allow 4-6 weeks for materials to be delivered.<\/p>\n Acceptable Forms of Identification\u00a0(ACT Policy)<\/em>: All identification must be original, not a photocopy or reproduction.\u00a0 No stamped, computer-generated, or reproduced signatures are allowed.\u00a0 School issued identification, publications, letters, and transcripts are not acceptable for home-schooled examinees.<\/p>\n \u00a0Current Official Photo Identification<\/em> \u2013Must be issued by your school or\u00a0city\/state\/federal\u00a0government (such as driver\u2019s license or passport) on which both your first and last names and photo appear.<\/p>\n Letter of identification<\/em> \u2013 must include photo \u2013 issued by your school: Must be individually completed in English and signed in ink by a school official (who may not be a relative) and include all of the following: your date of birth, Notarized statement with photo<\/em>:\u00a0If you do not have either of the above forms of photo ID, contact a notary public (who may not be a relative).

If this is not possible, a minimum of 60 days must elapse before another residual test may be taken. This restriction is necessary to ensure that recent familiarity with questions on the test form is not reflected in inappropriately higher scores. It is the responsibility of the testing institution to incorporate this restriction into its residual testing procedures. If the 60-day time limit is violated, the retest scores will be canceled automatically. No refund will be made for such canceled retests.<\/p>\n Scores<\/em>\u00a0 \u2013Residual ACT scores are for students who: 1) are enrolled, 2) have been admitted, or 3) are applying for admission to SE.\u00a0 Scores are valid only at SE and cannot be transferred to any other institution or agency.\u00a0\u00a0 No score reports will be generated by SE (or ACT) to students, high schools, colleges, or scholarship agencies.<\/p>\n Calculators<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 ACT permits examinees to use a calculator on the Mathematics Test (Test 2) but not on any of the other tests.\u00a0 Use of a calculator is optional.\u00a0 All problems on the Mathematics Test can be solved without a calculator.\u00a0 Any four-function, scientific, or graphing calculator may be used, unless it is\u00a0specifically prohibited as described below.<\/p>\n Prohibited calculators:<\/p>\n The following types of calculators are permitted, but only after they are modified as noted:<\/p>\n Test Participants will be the ONLY People Allowed in the Testing Room<\/p>\n Do NOT bring Cell Phones, Friends, Pets, etc. with you to take the Residual ACT Test.<\/p>\n CLEP Tests<\/strong><\/p>\n College Level Examination Program Southeastern is a National testing center.\u00a0 Exams taken through the National or open testing conditions are transferable to any institution accepting CLEP scores (check receiving institution’s criteria for accepting and awarding credit). Southeastern’s CLEP code is 6657. The total cost is $108.00 per test; however, prices are subject to change. $93 is paid to CLEP during registration, and $15 is paid to the business office at Southeastern. Advance registration is required. Requests may be sent to the Southeastern Learning Center at learningcenter@se.edu<\/a><\/u>\u00a0or by calling 580-745-2990.<\/p>\n Students must now present two forms of personal identification in order to be admitted to a CLEP testing room. The primary form of identification must be a government-issued photo ID card that bears the student\u2019s signature. The secondary form of identification must have a signature or photo, and the name on the secondary form of identification must be IDENTICAL to the name on the primary form of identification. All funded military candidates must present a current military ID and a second form of government-issued photo ID.<\/p>\n ALL CLEP\u00ae exam payments must be made by test-takers online at Collegeboard<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n Contact the Learning Center for a complete list of CLEP examinations, the Southeastern course equivalency, and the score requirements to receive semester credit.<\/p>\n
