Placement testing guidelines

What you need to know before you arrive.

ALEKS Math Placement Exam

IU Columbus uses the Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces (ALEKS) as a math placement tool. If you are a new IU Columbus student, you will need to complete an ALEKS Math Placement Exam or receive a waiver before meeting with your academic advisor. Your ALEKS score will tell your advisor which math course is the best fit for you.

English for Academic Purposes (EAP)

Indiana University policy requires that most international students take the EAP placement test before registering for classes even if the TOEFL test has been taken.

Test Essential Academic Skills (TEAS)

Traditional nursing students applying for the IU School of Nursing at IU Columbus must take the TEAS test.
