Please note:

For math placement guidelines, see the below math placement and the math flow chart Links to PDF file.

 

MATH PLACEMENT GUIDELINES

TEST SCORE PLACEMENT
0 – 7 GST 142 (Fundamentals of Mathematics & Algebraic Skills)
8 – 14

MAT 145 (College Algebra) or

MAT 121 (Statistics I)

Depending on degree requirements.
15 – 19 MAT 152 (Pre-Calculus)
20 –25 MAT 271 (Calculus I)

The above scores provide a guideline only for math placement and should not be construed as the only factor in determining appropriate placement. Additional factors to consider are the student’s high school transcript, the requirements of the student’s degree program, the student’s direct input and the other math placement materials found on the preceding pages of this handbook.
