Testing Information

UVU accepts ACT exam scores for placement testing. Official scores must be received by the Concurrent Enrollment Office PRIOR to course registration.

ACCUPLACER (English Placement) The exam consists of two sections: Reading and Writing. The ACCUPLACER exam is administered at the UVU Testing Center. Up to three retakes are allowed in a two-week period with at least one day between each attempt.

ALEKS® (Math Placement) ALEKS® allows students to take an online, practice math placement assessment on their own to determine their current level of readiness. After the initial practice assessment, the ALEKS system will map out which areas you need to improve into place into yourtargeted math course. Students can continue to learn and refresh on math topics in the ALEKS learning modules in between both theirpractice and official placement assessments. ALEKS® can be accessed anywhere the internet is available. A subscription fee is required for concurrent enrollment students and can be set up through their myUVU account. For help setting up an account follow our step by step set up guide
