Module 2: Advising
Assessment of ACT/SAT or COMPASS Scores Students who are admitted to the University may be required to enroll in prescribed courses based on ACT/SAT or COMPASS sub-scores. Valid ACT/SAT scores must be less than three years old. Students with ACT sub-scores that are 18 or lower in the areas of reading, English, or math are automatically placed in certain courses. A student may challenge their ACT/SAT placement by taking the COMPASS test. All entering, degree-seeking students admitted to MTSU will be assessed using their ACT, SAT or COMPASS scores to determine course placement needs.
