Mathematics Placement

General Recommendations:
  • Students may always choose to enroll in a math class less difficult than suggested by the guidelines if the student wishes to build his/her skills.
  • A student seldom places himself/herself too high in math.
  • Math Faculty may be consulted at all times.
