Placement
Advanced Placement Policy
The University of Virginia's College at Wise makes every effort
to place students in classes appropriate 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.
