Placement into a mathematics course is done in three ways:
1. Assessment Test
2. Placement Through Course Grades
Many math courses at SFCC carry specific grades in a qualifying course.
3. Placement with Transfer Credit or Various Examinations
Assessment IS required for:
- All first-time new college students
- All re-activating students who have not met the math proficiency requirement and
who have not been assessed within the last three years
- All transfer students who have not met the math proficiency requirement and who
have not been assessed within the last three years
Assessment is NOT required for:
- Students who have been assessed within the last three years
- SCC or SFCC students who have successfully completed college level math and are
enrolling in the next level of math
- Students taking fewer than 10 credits, not enrolling in math and not pursuing
a degree or certificate
- Students who have received a grade of 2.0 or better in intermediate algebra from
another institution and are enrolling in the next level of math. College transcripts
must be on file to support this exemption.
Note: Students who want to enroll in an upper level math class must provide
a transcript showing satisfactory completion of the prerequisite classes or
must assess prior to enrolling in an upper level math class.
