Placement Criteria

The State of Florida requires entry-level testing for students seeking Associate in Arts and Associate in Science degrees. Students whose native language is not English may be required to take another test to measure their English proficiency before entry-level testing is permitted. The State also requires institutions offering Postsecondary Career and Technical Education and Adult Education programs to test students pursuing these programs. Miami Dade College (MDC) may accept official test scores from approved academic institutions and approved regional workforce boards. Parameters for accepting these scores will be established between coordinating agencies.

The Placement Criteria is divided into five sections:

 

I.

Placement Criteria for Degree Programs and College Credit Certificate Programs.

 

II.

Criteria for Degree and College Credit Certificate Seeking-Students with Limited English Proficiency.

 

III.

Procedures for Testing and Placement Criteria for Postsecondary Career and Technical Education Programs.

 

IV.

Procedures for Testing and Placement Criteria for Adult General Education Programs.

 

V.

Procedures for Testing and Placement Criteria for Early College (Dual) Enrollment Students.
