PREP sessions filling up fast with incoming students

The University of Louisiana at Monroe鈥檚 PREP season will continue with an already fully requested session June 20-21. Another session will follow Tuesday and Wednesday, June 27-28.

PREP is a two-day program designed to help new students make a smooth transition to college life.  All incoming freshmen are required to attend one of the four PREP sessions, during which they select fall classes, scope out the campus, and meet fellow classmates. The participants also meet with faculty and administrators, take necessary placement exams, change majors if needed, and make course selections. The students will leave PREP with a completed schedule of classes for the fall semester.

Testing services are available during PREP. Placement exams are offered for students who require placement in developmental courses. Foreign languages placement exams and CLEP exams are offered for students who wish to earn credit through credit-by-examination programs.

Placement exams and CLEP exams will be administered at 4 p.m. Monday afternoon prior to Day 1 of PREP. Scheduled exam(s) will be confirmed by the 蜜桔直播 Testing Center via mail or telephone. If an individual has not heard from the Testing Center by the Thursday prior to a scheduled PREP session, please call the 蜜桔直播 Testing Center at 318-342-5336 to confirm.
