ROAR – Readiness, Orientation, Advising & Registration

You are required to take the Math Placement Exam if you are majoring in Biology, Health Science, Pre-Nursing, and Exercise Science. All other students can take MS 100 Quantitative Literacy. If you have questions or want set up an appointment directly with the Math & Science Department contact: dsheffield1@brenau.edu or 770-534-6280

Students are placed into their introductory English course based on a hierarchy of placement criteria including ACT/SAT scores, high school GPA and English grades, or GED scores.  

In order to place into EH 101 Written Communication, the minimum requirements are:

• ACT English – 20
• SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing – 500
• Students who do not have ACT/SAT scores must have a 3.0 overall high school GPA and a grade of B or higher in the last two English courses
• GED Reasoning Through Language Arts – 165

Students who do not meet any of the criteria above are placed into EH 100 Academic Reading & Writing.  If the student wishes to seek placement into EH 101, they must take the English placement test.  In order to take the placement test, please contact humanities@brenau.edu to request an access code and instructions.  The Accuplacer placement test is web-based, and requires a $10 fee for virtual proctoring that is paid to the proctoring company.

You’ll stay in a residence hall on campus and get a feel for what life will be like when you move on campus.

Dress comfortably—you’ll want to feel good and be able to enjoy ROAR! Most of this event will take place indoors, but we do have an evening event planned outdoors at the Amphitheater, weather permitting. Southern summers can be unpredictable, so we recommend checking the forecast before heading out. A light jacket might come in handy, especially for the evening.
