Math placement tool

This form finds students' placement depending on their compass scores, courses taken, etc. If you want to do it by hand, or want to double-check,here is the Math Placement table.

Enter any information about the student. It is not necessary to fill all the fields.

You can select the student's major or not. If you do not, the placement depends on the student's math sequence, which you can find here.

In the text area below you will find the math placement and the information you entered, for verification. Please check that all the information is correct.

For questions, exceptions, etc, write to mathadvisement@bcc.cuny.edu.
