Placement Exams???

<p>When signing up for orientation, I found that all incoming freshman have to take a math and English placement exam. However, if I placed out of both with 5's on AP exams, why do I need to take such an exam?</p>

<p>Also, for the journalism major, I noticed that ENGL 101 is required. Does that mean I cannot place out of it?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>
