Placement Testing
Finger Lakes Community College uses multiple measures to determine basic proficiency levels in reading, writing, math, and music. To ensure appropriate placement for a successful college experience, Finger Lakes Community College students (matriculated and non-matriculated) are required to demonstrate their level of basic skills proficiency in reading, writing, mathematics, and music theory, if applicable, prior to registration. Students will demonstrate proficiency by taking the appropriate FLCC administered or approved test and/or a transcript review. Based upon their test results and/or the evaluation of a transcript (high school and/or college), students not demonstrating the appropriate level of proficiency will be required to register for one or more preparatory courses in integrated reading and writing, mathematics, and/or music theory. Please be aware that the music theory section of the test cannot be re-taken.
Exceptions to these eligibility requirements are at the discretion of the Director of Academic Advising, Career & Transfer Services and the Mathematics and Humanities Department Chairpersons.
