The Developmental Mathematics Program prepares students to take the Quantitative Literacy courses offered by the Mathematics Department and the Philosophy Program. See the Core Requirements listed under the General Education Requirements of the WSU Degree and General Education Requirements of this catalog.
Placement in Mathematics Courses
Many students enrolling at Weber State are under-prepared for college level mathematics. All students requiring developmental course work must enroll in and not withdraw from their initial developmental course(s) within the first two semesters. These students are then required to enroll in developmental course(s) and make progress each subsequent semester (excluding summer) until all relevant minimum developmental requirements (including MATH 1010 if applicable) have been met for the students’ declared degree program of study (AAS, AS, AA, or bachelor’s degree). Otherwise, a hold will be placed on their registration, which can only be removed by the Student Success Center (see the Policy and Procedures Manual, PPM 6-02.III.D.1. Students are placed into developmental math courses using ACCUPLACER scores.
Students are placed into higher-level mathematics courses using either ACCUPLACER, ACT, or COMPASS scores. Note that the cut scores given below may be subject to change. (For the most recent cut scores, see the WSU Assessment and Placement Standards.

* Weber State University students who anticipate transferring to another institution within the Utah State higher education system should fulfill quantitative literacy (QL) with one of the approved Math QL courses rather than PHIL 2200 , “Deductive Logic.” PHIL 2200 will not be accepted in transfer as a QL course by another Utah public institution of higher education.
