Notes
- Scores given are minimums to be placed at that level. COMPASS scores are reported with both a level (Pre-Algebra, Algebra, College Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry) and a number.
- Placement is at the highest level by any indication, except THEA-liable students must be in compliance with their Texas Success Initiative requirements.
- Placement by the above scheme can be challenged through a local exam. Contact the Math Program at 825-2459 to schedule the local exam
- SMTE 1350, SMTE 1351 and SMTE 3352 are level IV courses but must be taken in that order. Starting Fall 2008, the equivalent sequence is SMTE 2350, SMTE 2351
- MATH 1324 and MATH 1325 were revised effective Fall 2006. They are both Level IV courses but most be taken in that order.
- Starting Fall 2007 the Mathematics Core options at level III are MATH 1314, College Algebra, and MATH 1470, Intro to Modeling; the Level IV options are MATH 1324, Business Math, and the new version of MATH 1325, Business Calculus, and MATH 1442, Statistics for Life; and the only Level V option is MATH 2413, Calculus I.
