Placement information for other courses for EFL students

• Students who place into either Level 1 or 2 of EFL courses (EFL 071/072 or EFL 091/092) will not take the math placement test until they complete Level 2 of the EFL courses so that their developing academic English reading skills will not impede their math scores.
• Students placing into Level 3 with previous math courses in the U.S. or college math courses in another country are advised to take the math placement test before beginning their first semester.
• Students placing into Level 4 are advised to take the math placement test before their first semester.
• Students who place into Level 1 as a general rule should take EFL 055 and no other college courses, including ACA 122.
• Students who place into Level 2 can take EFL 055 or EFL 082.
• Students who place into Levels 3 or 4 may be able to take other courses that do not require the reading/writing prerequisite (i.e. CIS 110 or ACA 122), but their speaking and listening skills are taken into account before recommending these courses. Students in these levels are also advised to take a listening/speaking course (EFL 055 or EFL 064) and a grammar course (EFL 082/083) as electives.
