2024-2025 Catalog

Placement Testing Requirements

Placement of students into freshman-level Mathematics and English courses are determined based on, in this order, review of: 1) ACT/SAT, Accuplacer Next Generation exam scores; 2) Alternative Measures; 3) High School GPA.  High school concurrent students are not eligible for remediation. If student has been out of high school for longer than 10 years, the high school grade point average will not be used to determine placement into freshman Mathematics and/or English.
