Online Registration Form
Please enroll for
the course you wish to be placed in before the registration for the
placement test. We will not contact you directly after the registration
for the placement test unless there will be a major change. Please check
our website periodically for the most up-to-date information.
We will notify
you of the results of the placement test via email on the day you take
the test. Please change your enrollment status upon receiving those
results, if necessary. Passing the placement test does not guarantee
you a seat in the class. However, please note that you must attend that
class on the first day, so that you will not miss anything if / when
you are officially admitted to the course. Also see the First day of
class attendance policy: http://onestop.umn.edu/registration/prepare/first_day.html
Should you have
any questions, please contact an instructor of the course you want to
be placed in.
