Adult Degree Completion (ADC) Program Math Placement Policy

This policy assumes the GE Mathematical Thinking and Quantitative Reasoning requirement, which may be fulfilled by completing one of the following courses: MATH 1350 Quantitative Reasoning (3 units); BUS 4110 Statistics and Research for Decision Making (3 units); or PSY 3187 Statistics for the Health and Behavioral Sciences (4 units).

All ADC students who have not met the GE Quantitative Reasoning requirement prior to enrollment will complete MATH 1350, unless they are Psychology or Management majors who have passed a college course in Intermediate Algebra, or have achieved an appropriate score on the ALEKS assessment exam or the CLEP Math exam.

The ALEKS assessment exam learning modules serve three purposes:

1. To inform MATH 1350 instructors and the Teaching & Learning Center of students’ abilities and/or support needs
2. To provide students with a refresher opportunity to practice skills
3. To allow Management and Psychology majors to place directly into BUS 4100 or PSY 3187 if the threshold for algebra proficiency is met

For further information regarding the GE math placement, please see the Adult Degree Completion Program (ADC) General Education Programs and Courses section of this catalog.

Students who place directly into BUS 4110 or PSY 3187:

In order to place directly into BUS 4110 or PSY 3187, students must meet one of the following criteria:

• Pass a college-level Intermediate Algebra course, articulated and approved by the University with a grade of ‘C’ (2.0) or higher
• Achieve a score of 46-100 on the ALEKS assessment exam
• Achieve a score of at least 50 on the Math CLEP exam

Note: All prerequisites must be passed with a ‘C’ (2.0) or higher before advancing to the next mathematics course.
