North Carolina Community Colleges As part of the admission process to the fifty-eight community colleges in North Carolina, a student’s readiness for college-level math course(s) will be reviewed. The NC community colleges focus on accurate placement using a student’s unweighted high school grade-point average, or GPA, as long as it is from a United States high school. The colleges do not require the ACT or SAT for admission, but these can be considered as part of a student’s placement process. Currently, community college placement policies across the state vary slightly, so it’s best to check the website of your local community college, compare your high school GPA to their math placement requirements, and contact them if you have any questions. You’ll want to do this well in advance of the semester you plan to enroll at the college. Fall of your senior year is a great time to check. Also, it is very important to enroll in a math course during your senior year of high school to keep math skills sharp. Appalachian State University Entering students’ SAT or ACT math score will be used for placement into college-level mathematics at ASU. A student scoring less than 550 on the SAT or less than 22 on the ACT may take the “Math Placement Test”. A student who does not pass the math placement test may take MAT 1010 if no other math is required of their program or the student must take MAT 1001 a 4-hour course that provides 2 hours of math elective credits. A student must place into college-level math or successfully complete MAT 1001 in order to take introductory courses in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics, General Science, Geology, Mathematics, Physics/Astronomy, and in other fields (any course with an ND designator). Transfer students without SAT or ACT scores will be required to take the “Math Placement Test” if they would like to take any math with a course number higher than 1010. Students wanting to take calculus are encouraged to take a college-level precalculus course (MAT 1025) before calculus. Students who have taken a rigorous high school-level precalculus course and who have an SAT of 550 or higher or an ACT of 22 or higher may attempt the “Calculus Readiness Test” in order to place into calculus.

NC State University Entering freshmen at NC State University are able to enroll in MA 103, 105, 107, 111, and 114. Students wishing to take calculus must either receive the qualifying score on the SAT Math Level 2 SubjectTest or take the ALEKS online math placement test which can be taken in May prior to their first fall semester. To place into MA 121 (a 1-semester calculus course), a score of 480 is required, for MA 131 (a 2-semester calculus sequence) students must score 520 or above, and for MA 141 (a 3-semester sequence required for many science and engineering majors) students must receive a 550 or better on the SAT Math Level 2 Subject Test. Alternatively, credit from one of North Carolina's community colleges for MAT 171 will allow students to take either MA 121 or MA 131. Credit for MAT 171 and MAT 172 together will place a student into MA 141. For more information about the NCSU Department of Mathematics, visit: https://math.sciences.ncsu.edu For NCSU prerequisites and math course descriptions, visit: http://catalog.ncsu.edu/course-descriptions/ma/ UNC Asheville Each incoming UNC Asheville student will be advised about which math class is best to enroll in. The placement process for first-year STEM students is as follows: Students who took Calculus in high school will be placed in MATH 191 – Calculus I without a lab. Students who never took a Precalculus class in high school will be placed in MATH 167 – Precalculus. For students who had Precalculus, but not Calculus in high school: 1. High School GPA >= 3.5 AND (Math SAT > =550 or ACT >= 23), the student will be placed into Calculus without being required to take the lab. 2. If (High School GPA >=3.5) OR (Math SAT >= 550 or ACT >= 23), but one of these criteria is not met, then students will be placed in Calculus with the lab. 3. If (High School GPA < 3.5) AND (Math SAT < 550 or ACT< 23), the student will be placed into Precalculus. Students who placed into Precalculus but would like to appeal their placement may take a placement test to prove that they are ready for Calculus.
