* This course does not fulfill the ACE mathematics requirement, but counts toward the 120 credits needed for graduation.

MPE Scoring

The letter score indicates arithmetic level:

E = arithmetic deficiency
P = proficient in arithmetic (no deficiency)

The number score indicates algebra level:

0-1 = deficient in algebra
2-5 = proficient in algebra

Eligibility for CLEP Testing

Students who score P4 or P5 may be able to fulfill their General Education math requirement by taking the CLEP test in College Algebra and receiving credit for either MATH 145, 165, or 166.

Students who score P5 can take the CLEP test for Precalculus and receive credit for MATH 168.

Students may make arrangements for taking a CLEP test at the Counseling and Testing Center in Bell Hall.

NOTE: Students may NOT take a CLEP exam for credit during their last semester before graduation.
