For most students, the University of Arizona requires that you complete three different placements prior to your Academic Connection date: Writing, Math and Second Language. Placements are a great way for us to gauge your knowledge within these three subject areas and ensure that you’re set up for the best courses for you as you begin your academic journey. Find more information below about what to expect for each subject!

Your math placement is an important component of building your first-semester schedule. Your placement can be determined by: AP scores, Transfer Credit, and the Math Placement Test. You can take the Math Placement Test through "Next Steps Center". If you don't feel that your current Math Placement is an adequate reflection of your ability, you can retake the test to see if you can improve your score.
The Foundations Writing Evaluation is an online assessment to help determine which, if any, first-year composition courses you need to take.
Main campus non-international students may use the form below to quickly change your Foundations Writing course preference for any of the following reasons:
You completed the FWE and selected a course OR you received a temporary placement prior to orientation, and you want to change courses (i.e., ENGL 101A --> 101, ENGL 107 --> 101, etc.)
You have an English exam score or transfer course in UAccess that counts as ENGL 101. Your exam scores or transcripts MUST be in UAccess in order to use this form to update your placement.
You completed the FWE and selected a course OR you received a temporary placement MORE THAN ONE YEAR AGO and need your placement "code" renewed.
Filling out this form DOES NOT change the ENGL course on your schedule. Once you have completed this form, you will be able to change Foundations Writing courses (ENGL 101, 101A, 109H, 107, 108, 102) on your schedule.
If you are an AZ Online, International, or UA South student and would like to update your course preference, please email a Writing Placement Advisor at writingplacement@arizona.edu.
It is important to note that there is a "Language Placement Test" that determines which semester of a language you are eligible for and a "Language Proficiency Test" that determines if you satisfy a certain level of a second language. The Second Language Proficiency is available for the following languages: French, German, Latin, Russian and Spanish. Other Proficiency tests can be offered by specific departments or the Department of Linguistics. Also, check out the Critical Languages Program.
For more information on Second Language Proficiency tests, check out the website below!
Brightspace, or D2L, is the website that students use for all of their classes. It is through D2L that the majority of course syllabi will be posted, assignments will be turned in, and course content will be available. A course's D2L website will also include links to any necessary textbooks or third party resources used throughout the course, such as Pearson or
It is important for students to know about important dates and deadlines each academic semester. There are dates that govern the last day to drop a course without a "W" (and be eligible for a refund), dates about the last day to withdraw from a class with a "W", and dates that there are no classes. There are three "sessions" in a Fall/Spring semester - "Regular Academic Session" (which is most of course offerings), "Seven Week - First", and "Seven Week - Second" - each session has their own dates and deadlines.
