SINT MAARTEN (POND ISLAND) - As the Fall 2025 academic semester approaches, USM is preparing to welcome a new group of students with final placement testing, registration, and orientation activities to kick off the term.
The second round of placement testing was held on July 18 and 19, giving incoming students the chance to assess their proficiency in core subjects and ensure they are placed in the right courses for the semester.
