Note: Students must complete the Sacred Heart University English Placement Proficiency Exam before they are allowed to register for English courses. Placement is based on a combination of high school GPAs, decile, rank, SAT and AP scores as well as on the three-part English Placement Proficiency Exam. The University's objective is to place every student in the appropriate English proficiency level in order to maximize student achievement and success.
Once placement has been determined, the student is obliged to accept his or her placement and course sequence. The University deems this policy crucial in meeting the needs of the student and his or her success in college.
Additional testing is required for students identified for English as a Second Language (ESL) placement.
