Have your myWSU ID number with you on your testing day.
*You can enroll in College Algebra or English 101 if you have an ACT English or ACT Math score of 20 (not the composite score; the individual English and math score). If you took the SAT, you need a score in math of 490 and an English score of 490 to go directly into College Algebra or English 101.
