A student may repeat the assessment (or any part of it) one time with a 24-hour waiting period between each assessment. The
highest score achieved within the two attempts is used for placement.
Once a student establishes a transcript record in a class (Ws or letter grades), retesting for that subject is not allowed.
Assessment test results are valid for three years.
The Mathematics department recommends MATH 105 and Math 135 be taken concurrently for STEM students. .
Math 060 will not be offered after the Fall of 2013. A passing grade in Math 060 or 065 will allow a student to enter into
Math 070. A passing grade in Math 050 will allow a student to enter into Math 065.
**Any student who has placed into Math 050 or Math 060 can enroll into Math 065.
