Prior to registering in their first mathematics course at IU Kokomo, first-year students complete a proctored ALEKS mathematics placement assessment for appropriate course placement. You may take your ALEKS assessment through the New Student Canvas site. If you’d like to schedule an in-person ALEKS due to technical issues, you may call the Testing Center.
Students transferring to IU Kokomo who need a mathematics course may also be required to take the mathematics placement exam unless they have transfer credit for a college level mathematics course equivalent to a course offered at IU Kokomo. In your initial appointment, your advisor will help you determine whether you will need to take the ALEKS math assessment. You may take your ALEKS assessment through the New Transfer Student Canvas site.
If you are a continuing student, please call or email the Testing Center to schedule your ALEKS assessment.
