We want to do our best to set our new Knights up for success. We require new students to complete Placement Exams so we can correctly place you into the proper courses. Placement exams for incoming fall 2020 students are now available. You must complete your placement exams before you participate in summer orientation. Please view individual placement exam information and access to practice exams.

Arcadia University has partnered with Everfi to provide two mandatory online courses: AlcoholEdu and Sexual Assault Prevention for Undergraduates (SAPU). In July, you will receive an email with login details for these interactive modules, which will help you make informed choices and protect yourself when dealing with drinking and inappropriate sexual conduct, if it occurs around you.

Part 1 of AlcoholEdu and SAPU are due by Monday, Aug. 31. A link for Part 2 will be sent out 45 days after you complete Part 1. You must submit both for the courses to be considered complete. If you have technical issues, please email Everfi or Mary Alice Difilippo.
