Math Placement
All new students should plan to take the COMPASS placement exam in mathematics through the Office of Admissions for placement purposes prior to registration. The COMPASS score is generally used to place students in the math course appropriate for their level of skill. Students who score below a minimum level are counseled and directed to appropriate sources of help.
