Placement Testing for Transfer Students

UW-Eau Claire will host online placement exams in Math (Test A), English, and Languages (French, German, Spanish) for students who are admitted for the Fall 2024/Spring 2025 semesters. Registration for all online exams is currently available at the Center for Placement Testing website. Special Note: Transfer students will be notified by their Advising, Retention, and Career Center (ARCC) advisor if placement exams are needed. 

PLEASE NOTE: If you have also been admitted to or are considering another UW System institution, please check that specific campus website for test recommendations, as they could differ slightly. If you do not have access to a computer/internet, accommodations can be made for paper/pencil testing on campus - email academictesting@uwec.edu to request.

ONLINE EXAMS PROCESS

You can register for online exams at the Center for Placement Testing website. Reminder: our online exams are not proctored.

Once in the site, you will need to log in with your UWEC campus credentials to complete the registration form before taking the exam. Within two business days of registering (but more likely within a few minutes), you will receive an email from Meazure Learning with a username and password for accessing the exams. If you haven't received your email in two days, be sure to check your junk/spam email folder before contacting the Center for Placement Testing for support.

• To take the exam, your web browser must be able to accept cookies, JavaScript, and pop-up windows. We recommend you use the most up-to-date version of your web browser. If you leave or log out of an exam before finishing, you may log back in and the system will remember how much time was remaining.
• Upon completing an exam, you must submit it in order for us to receive your scores. If you forget to submit your exam, you should be able to log back into the system to submit.

Please note: It takes around two weeks for tests to be scored and sent to UW-Eau Claire, therefore we highly recommend that you take them as soon as you can.
