FAU College Assessment of Readiness for Entering Students (CARES) is given to all incoming First-Time Freshmen during the early part of the Fall semester.
Our hope is to provide students with
valuable feedback about their readiness
for the FAU Experience!
After completing the assessment, students were provided with a unique set of TIPs based on their individual responses to assessment questions. Below we have made these TIPs available for students who were unable to take FAU CARES this fall.
