Mathematics Placement Exam
 
All incoming students must take the on-line mathematics placement exam. The only exceptions to this policy are:
 

1.

Students who are enrolled in one or more Developmental Studies mathematics courses are not required to take the placement exam. Such students will only be allowed to register for mathematics courses, numbered 100 or higher, after successfully completing developmental studies coursework; and

2.

Incoming students who transfer credit for college level mathematics courses are also exempt from the placement exam requirement.
 
All other students must take the mathematics placement exam. Once the mathematics placement exam is taken, a score will be obtained, and the students will be allowed to register for the appropriate mathematics course. If the exam is not taken, the students will be blocked from registering for all mathematics courses.
