Did you check your placement results and find it blank, incorrect, or expired? If yes, you may need to update your high school records.
The Math Guided Self-Placement is available for you if you meet one of the following requirements:
- Currently in 9th grade in need of a math placement.
- graduated high school more than 10 years ago.
- attended high school internationally.
- did not/will not complete high school.
Understanding your Guided Self-Placement Results:
The Math Guided Self-Placement provides guidance based on your educational goals, career plans, and prior experience in mathematics. As you work through the activity, your responses will help guide you towards the appropriate math path for your goals and level of experience.
Upon completion of this activity, you will be allowed to enroll in Math 9, 10, 15, 16, 25, 27 and 74*. If you are unsure of the degree you would like to pursue at this time, please meet with a counselor to help you explore your options.
* Math 74 does not meet the GE requirements for Option B or C for CSU or UC transfer. Please meet with an academic counselor to learn how it can meet general education requirements for Option A (local degree pattern for graduation at SRJC only).
