Math
We use several methods to place you in an appropriate course.
- ACT, SAT, or AP/IB test score
- Transfer credits from another college or university
- Score from an accepted placement test (Placement Exam, College Success, or ALEKS PPL)
Our student data is used to develop placement guidelines that ensure you will have a good chance of passing the math course in which you are placed. More information on math placements can be found through the Mathematical Sciences department.
Writing
Typically, first-year placement in writing courses is determined by your ACT or SAT scores. If you don’t have scores, you may take a Montana Tech placement exam instead. If you are taking dual credit or AP courses, email your test scores, grades, or in-progress schedule to our Admissions Team. We will let you know if placement testing is still required. More information on writing placements can be found through the Writing department.
