Register for ACCUPLACER or CLEP

Placement Process

• Entering students without a current high school GPA (less than five years old) will be placed into math courses based upon their College Board ACCUPLACER score. For these students, there is no charge to take the ACCUPLACER the first time.
• Students may challenge their placement by taking the ACCUPLACER up to two times. It should be noted that the South Dakota Board of Regents branching packages may be different than other states, so it is in their best interest to wait until they can take the exam at the SDSU Testing Center or use a voucher issued from the SDSU Testing Center to ensure they are taking the appropriate South Dakota Board of Regents branching packages required.

Successful completion of CLEP College Mathematics examination qualifies for MATH 103 credit, College Algebra examination qualifies for MATH 114 credit, the CLEP Precalculus examination qualifies for MATH 115 credit, and the CLEP Program Calculus I examination qualifies for MATH 123 credit. Make sure to confirm with your adviser that a CLEP exam is appropriate for your major before taking the exam.
