Academic Assessment and Placement
English
There are three different ways we determine placement into the correct English and math courses. They are: (1) ACT scores, (2) High School GPA, and (3) Accuplacer or Next Generation, which are placement tests.
- Placement into ENG 101 and ENG 099
- ACT English sub-score of 18 or above, or
- HS GPA of 2.75 or higher and A or B grade in English IV, or
- WritePlacer (Accuplacer or Next Generation) score of 5 or more
- Placement into ENG 101 and ENG 099
- ACT English sub-score of 17, or
- HS GPA of 2.75 or higher AND grade of C in English IV, or
- WritePlacer (Accuplacer or Next Generation) score of 4, or
- Placement into ENR 098
- WritePlacer (Accuplacer or Next ion) score of 3 or below
Mathematics
With an ACT math sub-score of 20 or higher, math placement is based on using the chart below and reviewing the high school transcript to determine the highest level of math successfully completed (“C” or higher) to place the student accordingly:
| Highest Math Course (any year, C or higher) | Course Placement |
| Calculus | MTH 125 |
| Precalculus MTH | MTH 113 |
| Algebra II | MTH 110 (AA); MTH 112 (AS) if not sure, then MTH 112 |
| Algebra I | MTH 100 |
- Placement into MTH 098
- Accuplacer Elementary Algebra (EA) score of 20-49 or Next Generation score of 200-242
- Placement into MTH 100 and MTH 099
- ACT math sub-score of 17, or
- HS GPA of 2.75 or higher and C in Algebra II, or
- Accuplacer Elementary Algebra (EA) score of 50-59 or Next Generation score of 243-252
- Placement into MTH 100
- ACT math sub-score of 18 or 19, or
- HS GPA of 2.75 or higher and A or B grade in Algebra II, or
- Accuplacer Elementary Algebra (EA) score of 60-79 or Next Generation score of 253-266
- Placement into MTH 110 or MTH 112
- Accuplacer Elementary Algebra (EA) score of 80-120 or Next Generation score of 267-300
