Assessment for Placement

Math Assessment: Not Sure Where to Start with Math? We’ve Got You.

At Foothill, you are in charge of where you start - no placement required.  All students can enroll directly in transfer-level math courses that align with their goals.

Your major helps determine which math course is the right fit. 

Not sure where to start? Speak with a counselor to map out the best path for your degree or transfer plan.

Open Access Math Courses

You don't need to complete a self-guided placement for the math courses listed below.  Still, we strongly recommend meeting with a counselor to choose the math course that best supports your major and future goals.

How Math Placement Works

Your math placement is automatically posted to your MyPortal account based on the high school transcript information you provided when you applied.

 

How You are Placed into Math Course

Your placement is based on your high school transcripts or your results from Foothill’s Math Guided Self-Placement.
