COVID-19 Updates: Miami's response to the coronavirus pandemic and CDC's coronavirus health and safety guidelines.
Miami University Regionals prides itself on “meeting you where you are.” If math, writing, or critical reading have been an obstacle for you in the past, we have special courses and supports available to help you conquer them. Placement tests are one tool that we use to find out “where you are” and what we can do to best support you as a student.
All first-time college students matriculating to Miami University Regionals must have placement scores on file before registering for their first semester of college courses. Students may submit ACT or SAT scores as part of the application process, or can take our free placement tests. Further, students who do not feel that their current ACT or SAT scores are an accurate reflection of their abilities can elect to take our free placement tests.
Transfer students are recommended to take placement tests after a Tutoring and Learning Center (TLC) staff member has reviewed their submitted transcripts and/or ACT/SAT scores. Students will be notified of their need to test via their personal email from the TLC and it will show up on their Student Checklist in the Student Portal.
Continuing students who change their major sometimes need to change their math pathway, and after consultation with an academic advisor, will need to take the math placement test.
CCP students may be required to take a Reading and a Writing ACCUPLACER test. Those who want to take a math course as part of their Miami University Regionals coursework will need to take the Mathematics Placement Test (MPT) on the mathematics department website. The MPT test is unproctored and can be completed anytime.
All first-time college students register for placement testing as part of their new student checklist. We offer placement testing both in person and virtually.
Transfer students and Continuing students register for placement testing through a link provided to them by their academic advisor.
CCP students who need a Reading and/or Writing ACCUPLACER will be routed to sign up after they apply to the program and their transcripts and/or grade reports are reviewed. To take the math placement, they should visit the MPT page on the math department's website. Students are given the option to self-enroll in the Canvas course that contains the test. The MPT test is unproctored and can be completed anytime.
Regionals Canvas Placement Testing Site
You can self-enroll in the Regionals Canvas Placement Testing Site through the link. There is no cost to enroll in this site. You should visit the site and complete practice tests at least 72 hours prior to any scheduled placement test(s).
All tests are delivered in English. If English is not your first language and you need additional support, you may also reach out to ELL Specialist Kathy Lamb at 513-785-3141 or lambkm2@MiamiOH.edu.
