IAIA Graduates

To best prepare our students to thrive at the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA), we require that all incoming degree-seeking students take our self-designed* Math, English, and Technology Proficiency placement tests.

About Placement Testing

• Placement testing is free to IAIA applicants.
• Testing will occur online (in-person testing may be requested and reserved through the Canvas testing page).
• Each test is self-paced and will take approximately two hours to complete.
• Fall 2023 Placement Testing will be open in Canvas from July 10–August 13, 2023 (July 10–August 20, 2023, for TECH101 Test-Out).
• Results will be available to students and advisors in the week following the completion of each test.
• Transfer students with applicable college-level MATH, ENGL, or TECH transfer credits will be notified if a placement test is not required.
• Test scores will help IAIA determine your placement in General Education courses and how long it may take you to complete your degree.

For questions about placement testing, please reach out to the IAIA placement testing team at testing@iaia.edu. *Please note that IAIA-designed placement tests are for IAIA use only, and scores are not transferable to other institutions.
