You do NOT need a Math Placement Test if you have:
- Completed the prerequisite(s) courses at Foothill College within several years OR
- Completed equivalent prerequisite(s) courses at another COLLEGE or UNIVERSITY within several years OR
- Taken AP Calculus in High School and have an AP score of 4 or 5 within several years.
If none of the above apply, you must take the appropriate Math Placement Test. Note that:
- Special arrangements may be made for out-of-area students
- In general, high school math courses DO NOT meet the prerequisites although AP courses will be considered.
- For equivalent courses at another college, the student must bring the appropriate documentation and obtain an equivalency form from the counseling office BEFORE registration will be allowed.
- When prerequisite courses were taken several years ago, it is strongly recommended that the placement test be taken.
- Any waiver to the above policies should be petitioned through the Physical Science and Mathematics & Engineering Division Office. (650) 949-7259.
