(Shaded cells show traditional placement criteria prior to 2020-21)
- Students will be placed at the highest level for which they meet the given criteria. If no listed criteria are met, place level 1.
- Students whose scores are over 4 years old should be placed at one level lower than what is in the table.
*Placement takes into account that these 4th Test Series scores are over 4 years old.
- Students who are placed via the new criteria (table cells not shaded) will be coded PMI (impermanent math placement) so that we can see how well these new criteria are working and remove the placements if they are not working well.
** As traditionally practiced, students currently enrolled in Algebra II whose transcripts show they are level 6 could be given temporary level 8 (coded PMHE); and those at level 9 enrolled in Precalculus a temporary level 10 (coded PMHT), if their semester grades indicate they are likely to achieve the criteria for the higher level. No student should be given a temporary placement except in these cases. These must be reviewed once students have final HS transcripts and before classes start and recoded as a PMH or PMI level by the Mathematics Department chair.
*** These codes indicate that the student has completed courses equivalent to MTH 211 or MTH 212 at another college and credit has been given so they can take the next higher level course.
