Chemistry Placement

You can place into Chemistry 111 in one of two ways:

• Receive an A or B in a high school chemistry class, and one of the following:
• ACT math score of at least 25
• SAT math score of at least 560
• COMPASS College Algebra score of at least 49
• A grade of at least a C in MATH 143, 160, or 170.
• Or pass the Chemistry Fundamentals Exam (Testing Dates)

If you are unable to place into Chemistry 111 by either of the above two methods, you must first complete Chemistry 050.

For financial aid purposes, Chem 050 does not count towards the minimum twelve credit load to be considered a full-time student, and is not considered college credit. Therefore, for financial aid purposes a student must register for twelve credits in addition to Chem 050 to remain a full-time student.  Additionally, there is a $105 special fee associated with taking Chem 050.
