ALEKS Math Placement Information

  • If you took the prerequisite DMACC course in the last eighteen months and received a C- or better, you may register for your next DMACC Math course and do not need to take ALEKS.
  • If you took the prerequisite course that was not a DMACC course (high school math course) in the last 9 months and earned a B- or better, you may register for your next DMACC Math course and do not need to take ALEKS.
  • If you do not meet either of the above requirements, then you must take the ALEKS assessment online which is ​not required to be proctored. You will need to meet the minimum cut scores as outlined for each DMACC Math course in order to register. Placement Score Table
