SOE Direct admission criteria ACT Math Sub-Score Math Course Placement

• 28 and higher Calculus I (MATH 150).

*Students with Advanced Placement credit and/or transfer credit showing successful completion of Calculus I may be placed in higher level math course.

• 26-27 Pre-Calculus (MATH 125).

*Students can take the Math Placement Test for possible placement in a higher level math course.

**Students with Advanced Placement credit and/or transfer credit showing successful completion of Pre-Calculus may be placed in higher level math course.

• 25 and below – requires testing for Pre-Calculus or higher in Placement test

First semester considerations…• To enroll in MATH 150 you must have:

– successfully completed Math 125 with a grade of C or higher.OR– qualified for placement by Math Placement Test score.

• To enroll in CHEM131/135 you must have:– High School chemistry and placement by ACT score.OR– Qualified for placement by Chemistry Readiness Exam.OR – successfully completed a) CHEM113 and b) MATH 120 or higher.

First semester considerations (cont’d.)

• Students starting in a mathematics course below MATH 150 (Calculus I) will require more than the 8 academic semesters to graduate.
