Printable version of the Math Placement Table and Flowchart
The following table will help you determine which math course you are ready for based on your test scores and other placement information. Note that the table gives many options for placement for each score. It is important that you also speak with your advisor to make sure that you are taking the math course that is most appropriate for your major. After the table you will find a flow chart that contains the beginning courses in the math department and explains how one course leads to another, so that you can make a plan for completing the math requirements for your major.
- ACT, MCA and SAT scores are valid for 5 years.
- AccuPlacer scores are valid for 2 years.
