The Academic Interest area on the Registration Questionnaire asks you to identify and allows you to change your major. You can access the Registration Questionnaire on your Accepted Student Tab on .

We do not want to inadvertently recommend that you enroll in a聽course you have already taken, so we need to know what courses you have earned or will earn college credit for before the fall. So, we need you to list all the courses in the College Credit Section of the Registration Questionnaire and send official transcripts after your final grades have been posted.

All first-year students are required to attend Summer Orientation. You will聽benefit greatly from attending orientation because it is during this time that you will enroll in classes for the fall semester. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to take care of many logistical details, such as having your picture taken for your student ID card. You will also be able to familiarize yourself with campus and meet some of your future classmates.

Yes. However, if you live in a state other than Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, or Nebraska, or were accepted to Truman after June 1, you have the option of attending the August session. International students will also attend the August Orientation Session. Please contact the Office of Admission if you have questions regarding your eligibility to attend orientation in August.

You should register online (via) for a Summer Orientation session preference as soon as you receive instructions by mail.

All sessions will provide you the same information, so please request the session with open seats which works best for you. Please do not make travel arrangements until you receive your session selection confirmation at the end of the online registration process.

No additional fees will be assessed for students attending Summer Orientation with a new student.

No. However, we encourage you to bring a parent or guardian if you’re under 18.

Summer orientation is a one-day event designed so you can drive to Kirksville in the morning and leave for home at the end of the day. If you are interested in spending the night in Kirksville, you and your guests聽may choose to stay in a local hotel.聽A list of local hotels may be found on聽the .

You may park in any blue or green lot on campus, with the exception of handicap spaces. A聽campus map聽is available聽online.

To set up accommodations for orientation, please contact the Office of Admission at admissions@truman.edu.

Please take and submit all placement exams online (via ) a minimum of two weeks before your Summer Orientation session date. Accepted students receive information in March about accessing their online placement tests and the Registration Questionnaire via .

Yes. Our experience has been that many students change their minds and decide to continue with their studies in the same language. If this should happen to you, the placement score, your high school foreign language experience, and any college language courses you have completed will be used to place you in the appropriate level language course.

Students who have completed three or more years of foreign language courses have acquired skills above the entry level and therefore may not enroll in the Elementary I class of that language to earn credit at Truman.

If you do not feel prepared for Elementary II, you may choose to audit Elementary I or review Elementary I material over the summer before taking Elementary II.

There are several ways for you to demonstrate elementary or intermediate proficiency in a foreign language.

• Successful completion of a higher level course can waive the prerequisite courses. For example, credit for Elementary II will waive Elementary I. You can take these courses at Truman or transfer the courses from an accredited college or university (including through dual credit during high school).
• Once you arrive on campus, take the appropriate local waiver exam in Latin, Classical Greek, Russian, or German. If you pass the exam at the elementary level, you will satisfy the elementary proficiency requirement, but you will not receive any credit. Likewise, if you pass the exam at the intermediate level, you will satisfy the intermediate proficiency requirement. Note: The waiver exams are not the same as the online Pre-Orientation foreign language placement exams.
• Take the appropriate CLEP, AP, or IB exams to earn college-level foreign language credit. A wide selection of advanced college credit programs can be applied toward Truman’s foreign language requirements. To learn more, see Advanced Placement.

Yes. We prefer you still take the foreign language placement exam. Foreign language courses through different institutions can vary and we want to ensure that you are placed at the appropriate level of聽foreign language courses at Truman.

If you have taken Ancient Greek, Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, or Russian, we do not have an online placement exam for you to take. Once you are on campus, we will arrange for you to meet with faculty members from the Classical & Modern Languages Department to determine your appropriate placement.

If you have not had any foreign language experience, you do not need to take a foreign language placement exam. However, you will have to take a foreign language at Truman as there is a foreign language requirement in the Liberal Studies Program.

Yes. If you receive a grade of a C or better on your first attempt, start the language at your placement level, and not have earned credit through transfer or credit by examination, you can earn credit for the courses skipped. Please refer to the catalog for information regarding the cost by credit hour.

Your placement recommendation will be determined by the Mathematics Department. The scores from your placement exam I, placement exam II, 聽self-placement assessment, high school transcripts, and ACT/SAT math subscore will be used in the evaluation of your abilities. If after learning your placement you believe you have been inappropriately placed, you may discuss your options with the Mathematics Department during your Summer Orientation.

Every student at Truman must earn college credit for mathematics. Please reference the Degree Requirements page for information about specific classes that are required.

Successful completion of MATH 186 (Pre-Calculus) or equivalent (MATH 156 and MATH 157, College Algebra and Plane Trigonometry) is required for MATH 192 (Essentials of Calculus) and MATH 198 (Analytic Geometry and Calculus I). The Mathematics Department will use your scores from your placement exam I, placement exam II, 聽self-placement assessment, high school transcripts, and ACT/SAT math subscore to determine your placement.

Whether or not you are required to purchase a calculator for this course depends on the particular instructor. Many, but not all, of the professors teaching calculus will want you to have a programmable graphing calculator. The Mathematics Department recommends the TI-86 for those classes that require a calculator. It is suggested that you check with your instructor before purchasing a particular model.

No. The Math Placement Exam is not required in this case. However, you may take the exam to get an assessment of your current skills in pre-calculus mathematics. If you’re requesting a waiver, you must contact the Center for Academic Excellence at advise@truman.edu

Yes. The AP results will not be received by Truman until after Summer Orientation and after you have registered for fall classes. If necessary, there will be time to make changes to your course selections after the AP test results are received.
