PLEASE NOTE: Math Placement rules are changing beginning in fall 2025. 

Review your math placement in your student portal to see where you may be placed based on the chart below. If you find it blank, incorrect, or expired, you may need to update your high school records. Note, this chart is for SRJC students who are currently in high school or have graduated a high school in the U.S. LESS than 10 years ago.

If you are unsure about what math class to take, please see a Counselor. Follow this link to learn more.

As a SRJC student, you have the right to challenge your co-requisite requirement by filling out an online form. For more information contact Assessment Services at the Santa Rosa Campus (707) 527-4661, or Petaluma Campus (707) 778-3908.

The Chancellor’s Office has launched STEM pathways across California community colleges, necessitating the effective implementation of Assembly Bill 1705. This legislation mandates that math placement, initial math enrollment, and academic support be designed based on data, with the goal of ensuring strong, equitable completion rates for gateway calculus courses in STEM programs.
