You will be taking an English Placement Exam that will test your knowledge of grammar and punctuation and your ability to think critically and communicate effectively. Your results will determine which English course is best for your first semester at Saint Leo University.

PLEASE TAKE PLACEMENT EXAMS SERIOUSLY.
Saint Leo requires two sequenced composition courses, English 121 and English 122, as part of the University Explorations (general education) program. However, occasionally incoming students need a bit more preparation in order to succeed in English 121. Your results will either place you in English 002, a course that covers the basic skills related to grammar, punctuation, and sentence and paragraph structure but does not count toward University Explorations requirements; or English 121, which reviews these skills and goes on to study various types of essays. If you are placed in English 002 in your first semester, you will then take English 121 in the following semester.
All Saint Leo University students are required to take a mathematics class as a University Explorations (general education) requirement. This requirement may vary depending on the student’s major.
Based on your score, you will be placed in MAT 003, MAT 128/141, or MAT 151/201.
