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 devdopmental 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 Academic Advisement Center (see the Policy and Procedures Manual, PPM 6-02.III.D1; 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 subjed to change. (For the most recent cut scores, see the WSU Assessment and Placement Standards at weber. edu/wsurmages/testplacement/assessmentplacementp df) ACT MATH ACCUPLACER2 COMPASS3 Score1 Scores Scores Course Placement Not Applicable CLM 90 and above Trig 75 and above MATH SI1210 (Required for some majors) 23 and above CLM 50 and above Note: CIM 70 or higher satisfies QL andaMATHQLWSO 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, QL10604 or QL1080 orPHILQL22005 (Requirement varies based on major) 22 and below, Must take ACCUPLACER placement exam EA55-64 CLM0-49 AL58-69 CA25-49 MATH 1010 orPHILQL22005 AR 75 and above EAO-54 PA 70 -100 AL31-57 CAO-24 MATH ND0960 AR40-74 PA 0 - 69 ALO-30 MATH ND0950, ND0955 AR 39 and below NA Refer to Academic Advisement 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 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 * Weber State University students earning an associate's degree in General Studies or who anticipate transferring to another institution within the Utah State higher education system should fulfill quantitative literacy (QL) with one of the approved Math QL courses rather than PHIL 2200, "Deductive Logic." PHIL 2200 will not be accepted in transfer as aQL course by another Utah public institution of higher education. DEVELOPMENTAL MATHEMATICS COURSES - MATH MATH ND0950.
