Placement

Advanced Placement Policy

The University of Virginia's College at Wise makes every effort to place students in classes Placement Policiesappropriate to their skill levels. Placements are made on the basis of SAT scores, high school records, AP scores, and diagnostic tests/essays.

Placement in 101 classes is usual. Advanced students may be placed in classes labeled 103(H), offering the student the opportunity to complete requirements more rapidly.

In some cases, students will be directed to developmental courses (Math 090 and English 099), which permit students to refine their skills and prepare for successful completion of 100-level courses.

Classes designated in the 090-099 category do not contribute to hours earned for graduation and are taken on a pass/fail basis. However, these hours may be counted as part of a student's full-time load for residence hall and financial aid purposes. Successful completion of these courses is necessary for admission to 100-level courses required for general education.
