Every CNS student enrolled in M305G, 408K, and 408C is
required to obtain a minimum ALEKS placement score by
the 3rd class day (August 28):
80% = M408C (Differential and Integral Calculus)
70% = M408K (Differential Calculus)
50% = M305G (Elementary Functions and Coordinate Geometry-CNS)
<50% = M310T(Foundations of Mathematics)
Failure to meet the minimum score for M305G, 408K, and
408C will result in automatic placement in the appropriate
preparatory course.
