*If the college has more than one assessment for the student in its records, such as the act, the sat, compass, and particular classes, the college uses
the highest scores or class(es) to assign the academic Level to the student.
** successful completion of the prerequsite course (or one of the test scores listed next to it) will bring the student to the academic level listed next to it.
successful completion requires a grade of ‘s’ or ‘c’ or ‘p’. Exception: mtH 151 does not advance student to Level 3 and mtH 169 will not advance student
to Level 5.
***students with the following exemption test codes (Exap (apprentice), Excc (company contract), Expc (prior college), Expg (guest student), and
Expt (old exemption code)) are assumed to have Level 6 reading and Level 6 writing. the exemption codes will allow students to enroll in math courses
through those requiring math Level 2. students who have an exempt score and wish to take a math class which requires an academic Level 3 or above
must demonstrate the required academic Level by taking compass or a math placement test, or by completing a prerequisite course. see a wcc counselor.
we do not accept accuplacer scores for placement.
****For mtH 067 or math 097, students must complete the course with at least a “c” and also get at least 75% on the exam listed (Basic skills math
test (Basm) for 067 and Linear Essential Exam (LEE or LEEm) for 097 before they may take the math class listed in the same row.
