Graduate Students
- Graduate courses do not require placement tests.
- Under certain conditions, a graduate student may take an undergraduate course; in this case, a placement test is required.听Following completion of the test, a permit will be issued.听听This permit听is required for course registration on Minerva.
Undergraduate courses at the 245 level and below also require permission from the student鈥檚 department (usually from the supervisor). Students are advised to take the placement test before seeking permission, as the test will demonstrate need.
