Placement Tests
-
All admitted applicants are required to sit for major placement tests to be able to register for freshman-level courses. The purpose of the tests is to place students in the appropriate level of English, math and physics. Students who don't have TOEFL/IELTS scores may register for math and physics placement tests as required by their intended majors. However, students who don't have TOEFL/IELTS scores are not allowed to register for the English placement test. Click here for more information on our placement tests.

Course Registration
-
Registration for classes takes place after placement tests are over. Advisors are available to register students and guide them. The complete process will be explained during the academic orientation session. Be sure to attend this session and follow the instructions provided to avoid confusion and frustration. Students who complete their files at the Office of Enrollment Management will receive a registration pass by email to register for classes in their respective college or school. For a general listing of courses and course descriptions, please refer to the Undergraduate Catalog.
