See the Core Requirements listed under the General Education Requirements of the WSU Degree and General Education Requirements of this catalog. Placement in Mathematics Courses Many students enrolling at Weber State are under-prepared for college level mathematics. All students requiring developmental course work must enroll in and not withdraw from their initial developmental course(s) within the first two semesters. These students are then required to enroll in developmental course(s) and make progress each subsequent semester (excluding summer) until all relevant minimum developmental requirements (including MATH 1010 if applicable) have been met for the students' declared degree program of study (AAS, AS, AA, or bachelor's degree). Otherwise, a hold will be placed on their registration, which can only be removed by the Student Success Center (see the Policy and Procedures Manual, PPM 6-02.III.D.1; weber.edu/ppm/6-02.htm). Students are placed in the Mathematics developmental sequence of courses either by ACT, ACCUPLACER, or COMPASS scores. Note that the cut scores given below may be subject to change. (For the most recent cut scores, see the WSU Assessment and Placement Standards at weber. edu/wsuimages/testplacement/assessmentpla cementpdf) ACT MATH Score1 ACCUPLACER2 COMPASS3 Scores Trig 75 and above Course Placement MATH SI1210 (Required for some majors) Not Applicable CLM 90 and above 23 and above CLM 50 and above Note: CLM 70 or higher satisfies QL andaMATHQLlOSO prerequisite requirement for any course CA50-100 Trig 45-74 AL70-100 Note: CA 6S or higher satisfies QL and a MATHQL10S0 prerequisite requirement for any course MATH QL1030, QL1040, QL1050, QL10604orQL1080 or PHIL QL22005 (Requirement varies based on major) 22 and below, Must take ACCUPLACER placement exam EA55-64 CLM0-49 AL 58-69 CA25-49 MATH 1010 or PHIL QL22005 AR 75 and above EAO-54 PA 70-100 AL31-57 CAO-24 MATH ND0960 AR 40 - 74 PAO-69 ALO-30 MATH ND0950, ND0955 AR 39 and below NA Refer to Student Success Center ACT MATH scores are only valid for two years from the date of the exam ACCUPLACER scores are only valid for one year from the date of the exam COMPASS scores are only valid for one year from the date of the exam 4 MATH QL1060 does not satisfy the QL requirement 5 PHIL QL2200 will satisfy the QL requirement * Test Score Legend: CLM - College Level EA - Elementary AR - Arithmetic Trig - Trigonometry Math Algebra CA-College Algebra AL-Algebra PA - Pre-Algebra NA-Not Applicable General PROFILE ENROLLMENT STUDENT AFFAIRS ACADEMIC INFO DEGREE REQ GENED Engaged Learning S Interdisciplinary OUR/CBL HNRS BIS LIBS INTRD MINORS Applied Science S Technology AUSV/ATTC CEET CS MFET/ETM MET CMT DGET IDT SST TBE Arts S Humanities MENG COMM ENGL FL DANC MUSC THEA ART/ARTH Business & Econ MBA MACC/ACTG BSAD FIN MGMT MKTG SCM ECON/QUAN 1ST Education MSAT MED CHF ATHL/AT HLTH/NUTR PE/PEP/REC EDUC Heaifh Professions MHA MSN CLS DENT PAR HTHS HAS/HIM NRSG RADT DMS/NUCM RATH REST Science BTNY CHEM GEO.
