Take placement exams.
All incoming students must take placement exams. Even if you believe you know where you should (or would like to) start out in a math, foreign language, or music sequence, taking the exams will ensure that you are placed in a class at the level appropriate for your skills. Learn more about placement exams.

Learn about summer bridge programs.
To help you cross that bridge from high school to college, we offer three programs for eligible incoming students during the weeks prior to new student orientation. These programs will provide you with tools for success as you navigate a new academic environment and face the personal and academic challenges of being a first-year student. Learn more about summer bridge programs.

Check computer requirements.
Looking for a new computer? Learn more about basic computer and wireless network requirements when deciding on the perfect machine before you arrive on campus. Questions? Contact helpdesker@knox.edu.

Submit your final transcripts and test scores.
Be sure to request that a final high school transcript, any relevant test scores (AP, IB, GCE), and any college records be sent to Knox. We need this information not only to maintain your eligibility for financial aid and scholarships, but also to assist your faculty advisor as you register for classes.
