Calculus Placement with ALEKS PPL

In general, ALEKS PPL placement is required for enrollment in MATH 75, MATH 75A, or MATH 70. 

Alternately,

  • passing MATH 6 with an A or B is sufficient to enroll in MATH 75;
  • passing MATH 6 with a C or better is sufficient to enroll in MATH 75A or 70; and
  • passing MATH 3 or MATH 3L with a C is sufficient to enroll in MATH 70.

What if I Took High School Calculus?

Students who received A or B in high school Calculus class may be allowed to enroll in MATH 75, 75A, or 70 without taking the Calculus placement test. 

If you passed the AP Calculus AB test with a score of 3 or higher and submitted the official scores, you already have credit for MATH 75 and may enroll directly into MATH 76. If you passed the AP Calculus BC test with a score of 3 or higher, you have credit for MATH 75 and MATH 76 and may directly enroll in MATH 77.
