Remediation

Basic skills in English and mathematics are crucial to academic success at Humboldt, but many students are admitted to the university with a need for further development in these areas, as measured by scores on the English Placement Test and the Entry Level Mathematics exam.

All new students whose ELM or EPT scores indicate a need for remediation must enroll in appropriate remedial classes their first term. Some students may need more than one term to complete remedial course work. All remedial course work must be completed within one year after entering a California State University campus, or a student may not be able to continue his/her enrollment. Satisfactory completion of remedial course work requires a grade of C- or higher.

English Remediation

EPT Score	Required Courses
No score	Must take English Placement Test before registering.
138 or below	Must take ENGL 40.
139 -150	Must take ENGL 60 and ENGL 100A. ENGL 100A is a General Education English course with a corequisite of ENGL 60.
151 or higher	No remediation required.

Math Remediation

ELM Score (Test taken before 3/02)	ELM Score (Test taken 3/02 and after)	Required Courses
No score	No score	Must Take Entry Level Math Exam before registering.
370 or below	35 or below	Must take MATH 40.
380-470	36 - 41	Must take MATH 40 or MATH 42.
480-540	42 - 49	Must take MATH 44 or MATH 103I/MATH 43 together. The MATH 103I/43 is General Education Math with a remedial component. It is not recommended for students in any Natural Resources or Science majors, or for students with any major that requires another GE math course.
550 and above	50 and above	No remediation required.

MATH 46 (Workshop for ELM & MPT Review) is also available for students who have an ELM score that indicates remediation is required. It is a brief, intensive review offered during the first week of the semester to allow students the opportunity to improve their math proficiency quickly. Results are assessed by means of the Math Placement Test. Because students who attempt this means of improving their math proficiency are not always successful, it is required that those registering in MATH 46 be concurrently enrolled in the remedial course their ELM score requires as indicated above. All students enrolled in remedial math courses are also encouraged to register for MATH 99, a 2-unit remedial course that provides math tutorial assistance.
