Review ACT & SAT placement guidelines for math enrollment

IMPORTANT NOTE:

- All general education math courses require a C or better grade.

EA= Elementary Algebra test

0-71 on EA = College Prep Math (remedial, non-credit bearing)
Note:  Students in the SWFL region may enroll in remedial Math courses through the local community college.  Most students will need to take and pass a course called Developmental Algebra (MAT 9024).  This course syllabus for MAT 9024 may be selected here.
