ALEKS is an adaptive assessment that is used for math placement.  \nWhich courses require a placement score? A minimum score on the ALEKS Placement assessment is required for enrollment in MATH 1110 (  College Algebra), MATH 1120 (Trigonometry), MATH 1130 ( Pre-Calculus) , MATH 1399 (Stretch Calculus I Part A) and MATH 1401 (Calculus I) .  \nWhen should I take the assessment? You should plan on taking your initial ALEKS assessment prior to new student orientation, advising days, and/or at least one week before registering for classes.  \nHow long does the initial placement take? You have a total of 2 Hours to complete the assessment. You must submit your assessment before the 2 Hours is up in order for the system to register your score.  \nWhat can I use on the Assessment? It is important that you only use paper and pencil on the assessment. No calculators or technology should be utilized. We want to know your current level so you are best prepared for success in your first mathematics course.  \nCan I improve my skill level/placement? Yes! After your initial placement you should spend time working in your individualized Prep and Learning Modules to refresh and improve your mathematics skills. These are created based upon your initial test.  \nHow do I retake the Assessment? If you work in the individualized learning modules for 3 or more hours, you can retake the ALEKS assessment for potential improvement. If you reassess, the placement should again be taken without the aid of outside resources or technology.  \nHow can I access accommodations? If you need special accommodations, including technology resources, please contact [MATH.Placement@ucdenver.edu](MATH.Placement@ucdenver.edu) for assistance. If you are not sure whether you are eligible for extended testing time, please visit the CU Denver Disability [Resources and Services](Resources and Services disabilityresources@ucdenver.edu)[ ](Resources and Services disabilityresources@ucdenver.edu)[disabilityresources@ucdenver.edu](Resources and Services disabilityresources@ucdenver.edu)  \nShould all students take the ALEKS Assessment? No. Only students who are required to take MATH 1110, MATH 1120, MATH 1130 or MATH 1401 should take the assessment. Please consult with your advisor if you have further questions about the most appropriate course.  \nWhen will my scores update in the registration system? Your ALEKS Placement score will update in the system within three business days.  \nWhat are the pre-requisite scores/requirements?  \n\n| Course \\# | Course Name | ALEKS Score Range | Prior Coursework Alternative |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| MATH 1110 | College Algebra | 46 or Higher | NA |\n| MATH 1120 | College Trigonometry | 61 or Higher | MATH 1109 or MATH 1110 with a Cor Higher |\n| MATH 1130 | Precalculus | 61 or Higher AND Advisor Consultation | NA |\n| MATH 1399 | Stretch Calculus I Part A | 76 or Higher – see Guidance for Calculus I Course Selection | • MATH 1109 or MATH 1110 AND MATH 1120 with a C-or Higher\u003Cbr>• MATH 1130 with a C-or higher |\n| MATH 1401 | Calculus I | 76 or Higher – see Guidance for Calculus I Course Selection | • MATH 1109 or MATH 1110 AND MATH 1120 with a C-or Higher\u003Cbr>• MATH 1130 with a C-or higher |\n\nMore about ALEKS  \nALEKS is an online, adaptive system, covering a broad spectrum of topics. Each question will be determined by the accuracy of the questions before and building on your familiarity with each topic. Questions are open response and ALEKS will provide an online calculator, when appropriate, so students should not use assistive devices other than a pencil/pen and paper.  \nThis assessment is used for placement, it is not a preview of math courses at CU Denver.
