Math Placement Test Frequently Asked Questions

 

Do I have to take the Math Placement Test? What if I took AP Calculus or earned math credit at another college? What if my major doesn't require any mathematics?

 

YES. All entering students are required to take the Math Placement Test. Your score on the test will in no way impact math credits you have received in other ways.
