Begin Your Pre-Work

Preparing for your Pre-Registration session has never been easier! We have outlined all of the steps you need to take to prepare for your advising and class registration here at HBU:

• ALEKS Math Placement: It is crucial that you take the ALEKS exam (HBU’s math placement exam) prior to pre-registration. You are allowed to take the ALEKS once. The exam is accessible via Huskynet and can be taken at home.
• Dual Credit & College Transcripts: We know retrieving transcripts is tough, which is why we accept unofficial dual credit transcripts for use in your class registration. This record will allow your advisor to recommend the best class schedule for you.
• English Placement Examination: Students who do not meet the requirements for English Placement will be required to take our placement Accuplacer exam. See the Testing Page for more information.
• Confirm Your Major: Don’t forget to confirm your major! If you have decided to change your major, please update the Admissions office by using this form: HBU.edu/update.
