All new Syracuse University students are expected to take all applicable placement examinations before registering for classes!

First term SU undergraduate students (new 1^st year and new transfer students) are able to access and take the Placement Exams when the student accepts the admission offer and is term activated (in May for fall admits, on a rolling basis beginning in December for spring admits.)

Returning and Graduate students must be granted access to online Placement Exams. To request access, go to MySlice > Advising > Placement Exams > Take Placement Exams, provide the required information and send the automatic email. The Placement Exams will become available via MySlice approximately 24 hours after the request has been processed. The requesting student will receive an email notify him/her when access has been granted, and s/he is able to take the exam. Please note that requests submitted on Fridays, weekends, or holidays will be processed on the next regular business day.
