Newly admitted 不良研究所 students may earn a course exemption from one or more basic science courses by taking an admission placement exam before starting classes.听
If you feel that you've completed the equivalent of one or more university-level science courses, but do not have acceptable certification to that effect, you may be eligible to write admission placement exams in biology, chemistry, math, or physics.
Students who pass the placement exam for biology, chemistry, or physics must pass the corresponding lab course听if they did not study in a formal course that included laboratory work meeting the relevant department's approval.
Note: There is a non-refundable application fee for each exam. Once your application has been received, your student account will be charged automatically. Applicants have the option of not writing the placement exam(s) once they have applied; however, the application fee will not be refunded. Science Placement exams are open to newly-admitted students only, and must be written the semester they are admitted.听Please note that the Science Placement exams will be听offered as online exams, with the exception of those for MATH courses, which will be held in person.

Science Placement Exams are held for the following courses:
- BIOL 111 - Principles: Organismal Biology

How to apply
Faculties of Arts and Science
Students admitted with an acceptable certification may not apply for admissions placement exams. Arts and Science students who are eligible to apply will be given exemptions, but not credit, for each test passed.
Other faculties
All other students should contact their faculties' Student Affairs Office before applying听to determine if they have acceptable certification. They should also inquire as to whether they will receive credit and/or exemption for placement tests satisfactorily passed.
