  • I want to take a math class for Dual Enrollment. When do I need to take the ALEKS placement test?

Once you submit your Dual Enrollment application, you will receive an email with information about obtaining your Z number (student ID number) and how to log into MyFAU. The ALEKS PPL Assessment must be taken within one year of the start of the semester in which you plan to take a mathematics course. You must take the proctored ALEKS PPL Assessment well before the start of registration for the semester. Students may also take the Assessment remotely with a webcam using HonorLock. Students unable to test at FAU or remotely using Honorlock should contact FAU's Office of Testing and Evaluation at fautesting@fau.edu. You can also visit the ALEKS webpage for more information: http://www.fau.edu/ugstudies/aleks-ppl/login.php.
