Abstract
This study primarily explored the use of computer based placement systems in Africa
and as such in Ashesi University more specifically and whether it would ensure course success
as compared to using just incoming mathematics grades of college entrants. To do this, a course
placement structure was developed which considered both the incoming mathematics grades as
well as placement test scores of students. The computer based placement test utilized was
ACCUPLACER’s Web Application.
