Placement is a skills evaluation process used to determine your level of readiness for college-level courses.
We will evaluate your skills in math. The results will allow us to place you into first-semester courses that match your skill level, positioning you for academic success. You may meet placement requirements in one or any combination of the following ways:
- Satisfactory placement test results
- Qualifying SAT/ACT scores
- Transferred courses from other colleges
Visit your applicant dashboard to check your placement status.
Penn College encourages qualified students with disabilities to take advantage of its educational programs, activities and events. Accommodations and services are available to assist individuals receiving access. Learn more and submit the self-disclosure form and documentation.
Most Penn College students receive one or more types of financial aid (grants, scholarships, or loans).
The FAFSA is an important resource because it:
- Determines Federal Pell Grant eligibility
- Has a significant role in determining PA state grant eligibility (and other states' grants)
- Is required for federal student and parent loans
- Is needed for some scholarships
