Placement by ALEKS PPL score

Placement into a particular course is permission to take that course. You need to carefully consider your goals as you select your courses. In particular, some majors require specific courses. Thus, you do not want to skip over a required course and, if your major requires a higher level mathematics course, then you need to enroll in courses that will satisfy the prerequisites for that higher level course.

Note: The statement "satisfies the prerequisites for . . ." in the listing below indicates possible subsequent course choices for this line in the list. In most cases a grade of C or better is required.

Note: The listing below shows the highest level course you may register for based on your ALEKS PPL math score. You also have the option of registering for a lower level math course.

• ALEKS PPL score of 0 through 34: You may register for
  • mths 102 [mths 102 satisfies the prerequisites for math 206, math 210, and stat 214 (only these three)]
  • mths 105 [mths 105 satisfies the prerequisites for math 109, math 206, math 210, stat 214, and math 250]
• ALEKS PPL score of 35 through 45: You may register for
  • math 102 [math 102 satisfies the prerequisites for math 206, math 210, and stat 214 (only these three)]
  • math 105 [math 105 satisfies the prerequisites for math 109, math 206, math 210, stat 214, and math 250]
  • mths 109 [mths 109 satisfies the prerequisites for math 110 and stat 325]
• ALEKS PPL score of 46 or higher: You may register for
  • math 109 [math 109 satisfies the prerequisites for math 110 and stat 325]
• ALEKS PPL score of 61 or higher: You may register for
  • math 110 [together with math 109, math 110 satisfies the prerequisites for math 270]
• ALEKS PPL score of 68 or higher: You may register for
  • math 143 [math 143 (which is equivalent to math 109 & 110 together) satisfies the prerequisites for math 270]
• ALEKS PPL score of 76 or higher: You may register for
  • math 270
