Due to restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the following policy for placement testing at Framingham State University will be implemented until further notice:

WRITING:  Incoming students who do not meet the criteria for Expository Writing will be contacted by the Placement Testing Coordinator with information on how to register and complete the online Writing Assessment.   Current FSU students who have not taken writing have been contacted by the head of the writing program and should check their e-mail and Starfish notifications.

WORLD LANGUAGES:  Language testing will not be available until further notice.  Language majors should send an e-mail to placement@framingham.edu for further advisement. Once testing can resume, details including registration and dates will be posted.

MATH: Math testing will not be available until further notice. Incoming students will be placed in math courses based on their high school GPA.  Once testing can resume, the Placement Testing Coordinator will be in contact with all incoming students regarding their math placement status, advise if testing is necessary, and share information on how to take the test.  Priority test dates will be offered to STEM majors who should take the math placement test in order to be placed in the most appropriate math and science courses for their major. 

Any questions may be directed to placement@framingham.edu.  Thank you.

We hope that you will engage with our campus community, even as many of our connection will occur virtually. You will receive information in the coming weeks about our Black & Gold Beginnings program, the final part of orientation, which provides students with an opportunity to engage with other students as well as campus resources available to help you succeed. Our Orientation Leaders are excited to engage with you during these events! You can connect with us now by following us on social media @newFSUram, and you can connect with other incoming students on our Framingham State University-Class of 2024 page. This page is also where we will share important updates for incoming students!
