We’re improving our placement process!

Beginning in spring 2026, new math placement scores will be used when you register for your non-math classes. These new Math Skills Levels will be used to denote how much math knowledge is needed in non-math classes.

Students with a current Math Level 4 or above will automatically be converted a Math Skills Level based their current level.

Incoming or returning students without a current Math Level will have their Math Skills Level determined using high school GPA or various test scores through LCC’s Testing Center. The possible Math Skills Levels are:

• Fundamental (MSL 0)
• College-Ready with Support (MSL 10)
• College-Ready (MSL 20)

You can see both your new Math Skills Level and your old Math Level (prior to 2026) by:

• Logging in at lcc.edu
• Clicking “Profile” in the blue hamburger menu (or the blue bar, if you’re on a laptop)
• Looking in the “Placement Levels” box

Importantly, if you do not currently have an old Math Level of 4 or higher, a high school GPA or 2.5 or higher, or a GED math score of 165 or higher, you will not be assigned a new Math Skills Level. Contact Testing Services for information regarding placement, or contact Academic Advising for help with which classes you should take.
