Do I have to take the Math Placement Test?
Registrants for the math courses Mat 108, Math 115, and Math 222 are currently computer screened to determine if they have met the prerequisites. There are three possible ways for a student to satisfy a course's prerequisites:

  • Score sufficiently high on the Math Placement Exam given in Testing Services at ICC
  • Take the prerequisite course at ICC and make a grade of C or better
  • Transfer records to ICC indicating the student has met the prerequisite at another accredited college

What if my placement score falls below (just barely) the cut-off score for the class I want?
Expect no waivers. The test is designed to aid in your success. You may retake the test (with preparation) to try for a higher score.
