If you have college credit for English, math or any other college credit, you can apply it to your Grand View education. Your college English or math credit and/or ACT/SAT information will also help us place you in the correct courses. If you have earned credit in ENG 105 and/or ENG 106, you will not be required to complete the English placement process.

2) English & Math Placement Process
We want to make sure you are registered for courses where you can be successful and that are right for your major. The placement process is designed to help us help you. By being placed in the correct courses, you will be prepared for success, which will help you graduate on time.
You will be placed into English courses based on your prior college credit or a sample of your writing. This process is called English placement and ensures you are in the class that best suits your needs. During the placement process, you will be asked to write an essay that will be read by at least two faculty members in the English Department, who will determine which course best meets your needs. If you have earned credit in ENG 105 and/or ENG 106, you will not be required to complete the English placement process.
Complete ENGLISH Placement Process
The Math Placement Assessment is optional, although we do recommend certain students complete the assessment to be properly placed in math courses. Click here to determine if it is recommended that you take the math placement.
After you have satisfied the prior credit/placement requirements for English and Math, you will get an email within 2-4 days with a link to sign up for Orientation.
We can't wait to meet you and welcome you to the Grand View family!
