Placement Testing

The Art Institute of California — Orange County is committed to student success. We recognize that students come with many strengths and skill sets, and to help us determine academic preparation especially in the areas of English and mathematics, we have selected the ACCUPLACER test. To ensure proper placement in English and mathematics courses, entering students are required to take this diagnostic test. Based on the results of the academic placement test, students may be required to take transitional studies courses. Students must successfully complete such courses in order to progress in the program. Transitional studies course credits do not count towards the total number of credits for graduation nor do they count in the CGPA; however, they do count in determining the maximum time frame and the incremental completion rate. Transitional studies courses may be individually attempted no more than three (3) times. Failure to do so will result in termination.

Exceptions will be granted to:

Those with transferable college credits in 100-level and above mathematics and/or English courses (grades of “C” or higher).
Those with scores of 450 or higher in the verbal portion of the SAT and/or 400 or above in the mathematics portion.
Those with a composite score of 17 or higher on the ACT
Those with Advanced Placement (AP) scores of 3 or higher in English and/or mathematics.

TRANSITIONAL STUDIES PROGRAM
The courses included in this program are designed to help build and strengthen the basic foundation skills. To receive the benefits of such a program, students must enroll in the courses in their first year. Students enrolled in transitional studies classes may be required to take from three to six credits in addition to their normal program of study credit requirements. Students must successfully complete such courses with a grade of “C” or better in order to progress in their program. These credits will increase the total number of credits students must take, and they will not count towards graduation. However, they will be included in determining the maximum timeframe and the incremental completion rate. These credits will be charged at the current per-credit-hour rate.
