Academic Development Plan

Who participates in the Academic Development Plan?

Some students are required to participate in the Academic Development Plan as part of the admissions and placement process. Eligibility is determined using a combination of factors, including:

• High school GPA

• ACT/SAT scores (or the absence of test scores)

• Trevecca placement test results, when required

Generally, students may be required to participate in the Academic Development Plan if:

• Their high school GPA is below 2.5, or

• Placement testing indicates additional support in English and Math may be beneficial, or

• ACT/SAT scores (subject-based scores, not composite score) indicate additional academic support may be helpful during the transition to college.

Generally, students with the following scores may benefit from completing placement testing:

The goal of the Academic Development Plan is to provide additional support and help students build a strong foundation for academic success.

Step 1: Complete Placement Requirements

Your placement status may affect whether you remain in the Academic Development Plan.

Option A. Submit ACT/SAT Scores
If you have taken the ACT or SAT and would like Trevecca to use those scores for placement purposes, please have official scores sent to the university as soon as possible.

Option B. Submit College Credit or Exam Credit
If you have earned college credit in English or Math, or completed a credited exam such as AP, CLEP, or DANTES, those results may be used for placement. Please contact your admissions counselor if you have questions about either of these options.

Option C. Complete Trevecca Placement Testing
If you do not have qualifying ACT/SAT scores or transferable credit, you may be required to complete Trevecca placement testing. Placement tests are available online and may be completed remotely. Because testing is monitored, you must have access to a computer with internet access and video capability. For your convenience, testing sessions are offered throughout the year. You can schedule a placement test by clicking here. Once your placement testing has been completed and reviewed, you will be notified if additional Academic Development Plan requirements apply.

Step 2: Schedule Your Student Success Meeting

After all placement information has been received and reviewed, please schedule your required Student Success Meeting. This must be completed before classes begin. You can schedule your Student Success Meeting by clicking here.
