The Florida College Entry Level Placement Test (FCELPT) is used to determine placement in English, mathematics, and reading courses. Students can access a study guide with helpful resources and practice tests on the Edison web site.
- Placement Testing Times & Schedule
- Students must complete and turn in an application for admissions to the Office of the Registrar prior to testing.
- Placement testing is required of all degree-seeking students, certificate-seeking students, high school students in Accelerated Programs, and Veterans. Non-degree-seeking students planning to take English and mathematics must also be tested.
- Students are required to take the FCELPT or submit a full set of ACT-E or SAT-R scores taken within the previous two years.
- Students that have attended another college or university may bring in an official or unofficial transcript for evaluation.
- The Placement Test is administered at all campuses and sites. Contact local campus for additional information.
 Students who do not achieve the minimum scores on these tests, will be placed in, and required to satisfactorily complete, appropriate college preparatory instruction. "Florida State Board of Education Administrative Rule 6A-10.0315(20) mandates that students complete their remedial coursework by the time they have accumulated twelve (12) hours of college credit coursework or they must maintain continuous enrollment in college preparatory coursework each semester until the requirements are completed while performing satisfactorily in the degree earning coursework."
Florida Statute 1007-263 mandates that every student at Edison State College, who scores below college level in any area on the common placement test, be informed of alternative remedial options. A student who selects a private provider for remedial instruction is entitled to enroll in college level courses in skill areas other than those for which the student is being remediated. Once the student has successfully completed a remediation program, they must be retested and achieve a score above the cutscore in the appropriate section(s) of the placement test.
