Mathematics Placement, Preparation & Learning: ALEKS-PPL
Oral Roberts University recognizes that Whole Person Education includes mathematical and quantitative literacy, regardless of your intended field of study.
It is essential for success in mathematics that you enroll in a course for which you have the necessary preparation and which leads to the math courses required for your particular major. To ensure you enroll in the most appropriate mathematics course for you, ORU requires students to take an ALEKS Placement Assessment.
ALEKS (Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces) is an innovative, artificially intelligent assessment and adaptive learning system; the assessment uses open-response questioning to rapidly and accurately assess each student on a wide range of course material in 30 questions or less.
The ALEKS Placement Assessment is available online using ORU Single Sign-on. It covers material from Basic Math through Precalculus and will take approximately 90 minutes to complete.
After the assessment, a targeted Prep and Learning Module is available for you to review and learn the material, and to improve placement and eventual course outcomes.
