Placement Tests
The University of Toledo provides incoming students with an innovative and convenient option to complete placement testing. Placement tests are needed so your academic advisor can best assist you with registering for the most appropriate courses. Placement tests must be completed one day prior to your first advising appointment.
For any questions related to placement tests, please contact jhcoeadvising@utoledo.edu.
