Jacksonville College is committed to a continuing effort to insure a proper and effective education of all students. However, some students who come to the college are not fully prepared for college-level work, especially in the areas of English and mathematics. To assist these students in having a successful college experience, Jacksonville College requires that certain minimum scholastic standards be met before admission into college-credit English and mathematics courses. These standards are based on one or more of the following criteria:

TOEFL score in English (for nonimmigrant aliens)
ACT score in English and mathematics
SAT score in English and mathematics
TASP/THEA score in English and mathematics
Jacksonville College English Department placement test scores
Jacksonville College Mathematics Department placement test score

If the minimum standards are not met then the student may be required to enroll in developmental (non-credit) English and/or mathematics classes and demonstrate the required proficiency before admission into credit English and/or mathematics courses. Details of the testing and placement policies and procedures can be obtained by contacting the Academic Dean or the Director of Admissions.
