Math placement tool

This form finds students' placement depending on their ACCUPLACER score, 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.

COMPASS scores:	M1 (Arithmetic)	M2 (Algebra)	M3 (Coll. Algebra)	S4 (Geometry)	S5 (Trigonometry)
Enter the compass grades here. You can find them in OSSES under 'Student Skill Test/Transcript', or at the bottom of the e-advisement form. If a part was not taken, leave that box blank. If exempt from M1, write x. If exempt with 'Q' code, enter Q in the M1 box. If available, placement must be based on ACCUPLACER score: If no ACCUPLACER or COMPASS scores, but student has taken the CMAT exam, click here:

CMAT Scores:	Part I (Arithmetic)	Part II (Elem. Algebra)	Part III (Int. Algebra)	Part IV (Trigonometry)	Part V (Precalculus)
Enter the CMAT scores here. If any part was not taken, leave the corresponding box blank. Note that the CMAT scores cannot be used if student has taken the COMPASS exam. To use the COMPASS scores instead, click here:

ACCUPLACER SCORES
M5 (Elementary Algebra)	M6 (College-Level Math) (Only if M5≥57)
