Welcome to Roosevelt University! We believe that accurate placement of students into courses appropriate for their skill level is the first step toward academic success at Roosevelt.
The RUA is an assessment tool used to determine a student’s placement into required English and Math classes. Completion of the RUA or evaluation of current ACT or SAT scores is required before students may register for courses. The RUA is a proctored, computerized test composed of three sections - Reading, Writing, and Math.
You have the following options to schedule the Math Placement Test:
Please email testingcenter@roosevelt.edu your RU student ID #, RU student email address, and your choice for test option (#1, #2 or #3). Please include your requested date and time for options #1 or #2. If you choose option #3, information will be sent to you within the next 2-3 business days to complete your online registration. There is a $15 fee for the online test.
Most students complete the English and Math exam in less than three hours, but there is no time limit.
There is no charge for taking the RUA at either campus, though there is a $15 fee for the online Math test.
If you live outside of the Chicago area, please email testingcenter@roosevelt.edu to arrange to take the RUA at a location convenient to your local area. Please include your Name, Student ID Number, and full address. Some fees may apply.
Testing is available at the Chicago Campus, Schaumburg Campus, or online through a third party proctor. Please email testingcenter@roosevelt.edu to reserve your spot.
Students must provide their RU ID number and photo ID to take the test. No calculators, phones or test aides are permitted without medical documentation.
