Math Placement

Math Placement

Math placement is complex and can depend on a variety of factors. STLCC is currently accepting high school class history as sufficient evidence of math placement, along with standardized test scores. Details of how students can satisfy prerequisite requirements for each of our dual credit math courses can be found in the chart below. Please note, students only need to meet one of the course's math placement requirements, along with Reading Proficiency, to be eligible to register.
