English and Math class placement are determined by evaluating ACT or SAT scores.
| ACT English | SAT English | English Course |
|---|---|---|
| 17 or below | 420 or below | ENG 090 Basic Composition* |
| 18 or higher | 430 or higher | ENG 115 Composition I |
| * ENG 090 is a term of basic writing skills, and will not count towards your degree requirements. | ||
| ACT Math | SAT Math | Mathematics Course |
|---|---|---|
| 19 or less | 470 or less | MTH 098 Introductory Algebra* |
| 20 - 23 | 480 - 540 | MTH 111 Intermediate Algebra |
| 24 - 28 | 550 - 640 | MTH 115 College Algebra |
| 29 or more | 650 or more | MTH 221 Calculus or MTH 231 Statistics |
| * MTH 098 does not count towards a degree but it does prepare you to be successful in MTH 111 and MTH 115. | ||
Information subject to change.
Students may appeal the placement and complete a written placement exam. Students required to take ENG 090, MTH 098 and/or MTH 111 must also enroll in PSY 112, Study Skills, and will automatically be out of sequence with their curriculum guide. Because these are refresher courses, they do not count towards the degree. It may be necessary for the student to take courses during mini sessions and/or summer sessions to catch up with the sequence of courses.
