Math Placement Information

College level math placement for CWC can be determined by:

  • Math ACT score (within the past 2 years) OR
  • Score on a PROCTORED ALEKS Math Assessment (within the past 2 years)  OR
  • Previously earned college credit (subject to evaluation by the Office of the Registrar)

There are multiple course options for each math placement level. The math course(s) a student

Students who are not placed into college-level coursework via Math ACT scores, equivalent Math SAT scores, or previously earned college credit must have a current ALEKS or ACT score (within the last two years). ALEKS offers an initial non-proctored assessment that can be completed at home, and Prep and Learning Modules to gain and refresh knowledge.

ALEKS is calibrated with the idea that a student does not have a calculator, and ALEKS will provide one during the assessment when allowed.

Students should discuss scores with their advisor to ensure proper placement has been met.

Proctored placement test scores must be received and entered in the student file prior to course start date.
