academic placement guide English Assessment All incoming students will take an English assessment test at Advising & Registration, consisting of a grammar section and a written essay to assess grammatical knowledge, writing ability and readiness for freshman composition (ENG 111). Results are evaluated in conjunction with SAT/ACT scores. Foreign Language Placement Meredith College believes that a well-educated woman should be a competent communicator in at least one foreign language. The faculty of Meredith requires foreign language study through the third semester (205) level. We encourage you to build on the knowledge you’ve begun in high school by taking courses early in your college career. If you studied French or Spanish, an assessment of your skill level during Advising & Registration or Orientation will help us place you in the level most appropriate for you—or may indicate that you have already met the general education requirement in foreign language. If you studied a language other than Spanish or French and would like to continue, please consult the department head in Foreign Languages and Literatures, Dr. Kevin Hunt, (919) 760-8422 or kevinh@meredith.edu. Mathematics Placement Students are required to take a course to build knowledge and skills in Data Analysis, Abstract Reasoning and Problem Solving: either MAT 245, Statistics; or MAT 211, Calculus. There is an additional General Education elective which could be filled with a second math course. MAT 245, Statistics I MAT 245 has no prerequisite. MAT 211, Calculus I The prerequisite for MAT 211, Calculus I, is one of the following: • MAT 144 (Functions and Graphs) • MAT 141 (College Algebra) and MAT 143 (Trigonometry) • Permission of the math department Please use the chart below when determining placement if you intend to take MAT 211.
