*If student scores 50-70 in COMPASS Trigonometry, they should visit with a math instructor to determine placement in Trigonometry or Calculus I. NOTE: If it is determined that a student should take Calculus in this circumstance, the student will have to be overridden into the Calculus class; the pre-requisite will prevent enrollment if the student scores less than 71 on the COMPASS Trigonometry test.

** NS = Numerical Skills; EA = Elementary Algebra; IA = Intermediate Algebra
