Mandatory Placement

Mandatory course placement was developed to provide information about the English, math, science, and reading skills required for success in college. By assessing students’ ability levels, mandatory placement helps to determine the courses most appropriate for students.

Course placement in English, math, science, and reading courses will be determined by either ACT or computerized placement test (CPT) scores. For students under 21, placement is determined by ACT scores in the above subject areas. Students with ACT scores below 19 will be placed in deficiency-removal (pre-college) courses but can appeal this placement by taking the CPT. Adult students (over 21) and active-duty military will be placed in appropriate courses based on CPT scores.

For additional information concerning mandatory placement, contact the Testing Center or the Admissions Office.
