Topic Two: Placement Scores
• Students will be placed into particular DevEd classes depending on
their placement test scores on CMC approved tests such as Accuplacer,
Compass, ACT, or SAT.
• Note: If eligible, students can received financial aid for CCR 092 + 091, 092,
093, 094 and Math 050, 055, and 025.
SEE NEXT 3 SLIDES for Accuplacer Placement Scores.
KEY:
RC/Rd = Reading Comprehension
SS = Sentence Skills
EA = Elementary Algebra
AR = Arithmetic

Topic Two: Placement into DevEd CCR
Can students take ANY DevEd CCR course? No. Students should
be placed according to their test placement scores. However--• If students place into CCR 093 or CCR 094, they should take
either one of these classes. Alternatively, students can take
CCR 092 because they are allowed to take a CCR class with a
required lower placement score.
• If students place into CCR 092, they cannot take a CCR course
that requires a higher placement score such as required in CCR
093 or CCR 094.
•
Initial contact with an advisor is critical so students can can be advised into the
best DevEd class for them. When enrolling in a DevEd course, students must have
an advisor’s signature on their Registration Form.
Topic Two: Placement into DevEd Math 050
Can students take ANY DevEd Math course? No. Students
should be placed according to their test placement scores.
• In general, if students are interested in taking a 100 level
Non-Transfer or Non-STEM math course, they should
enroll in Math 050 (Quantitative Literacy).
• If students plan to take Math 103, 107, 108, 109, 112, 120,
135, 155, or 156, they should enroll in Math 050.

Topic Two: Placement into DevEd Math 055
continued
• If students have an EA (elementary algebra) score 60-84, they
can enroll in Math 055 (Algebraic Literacy/STEM prep).
• If students plan to take College Algebra 121 or 123, they should
take Math 055. Math 055 includes content necessary for success
in College Algebra.
•
Initial contact with an advisor is critical so students can be advised into the best class
for them. Advisors will discuss the two math academic pathways based on career
choice.
•
If students feel they have chosen the incorrect math pathway, they can take a different
DevEd math course depending on their placement scores, or they can re-test.
•
When enrolling in a DevEd math, students must have an advisor’s signature on their
Registration Form.
