Show Humanities Mathematics Placement tests are required, prior to registration, of all students who have not completed the specified prerequisite courses from an accredited college with a "C" grade or better within the past year. Students are admitted to Mathematics 105 on the basis of their performance on the ACT entrance tests and their high school background. Further placement in Mathematics 106, 107 or 211 is possible by scoring sufficiently high on the level II ACT mathematics test. Other tests are available for credit and/or higher placement for qualified students. Arrange ments to take the examinations must be made with the college testing bureau located in the Student Personnel Center. Students are advised to review material to be tested before examinations are taken. Students who wish to select a major or minor in mathematics must file an application with the Chairman of the Mathematics Department and must have their programs approved before registering for upper division courses.
