ALEKS is a powerful artificial-intelligence based assessment tool that zeros in on the strengths and weaknesses of a student\u2019s mathematical knowledge, reports its findings to the student, and then provides the student with a learning environment for improving this knowledge to an appropriate level for course placement.<\/p>\n
The ALEKS Math Assessment ensures students’ readiness for mathematics courses at ÀÖ²¥ÊÓƵ. Since these courses are demanding, it is important for students to begin in the course most likely to lead to success. Students will not be permitted to take a course unless they have demonstrated readiness. After completing the initial assessment, students who wish to improve their skills may use the included learning modules.<\/p>\n
Students may not take certain courses in mathematics without demonstrating readiness.<\/p>\n
Some entering first-year students and some new transfer students will be recommended to take the ALEKS assessment. Please check in with your advisor for assistance.<\/p>\n
Check which mathematics course(s) your major requires. If you major requires mathematics, the course(s) likely have a math or ALEKS placement level prerequisite.<\/p>\n
If you are only required to take a General Education Foundations – Mathematics course that does not have a math or ALEKS placement level prerequisite, you are not required to take the ALKES assessment.<\/p>\n
