On Friday January 17, and Monday January 20, ACV Campus (570 Dunsmuir, Vancouver) will be closed during the demolition of an adjacent building on Dunsmuir. For Friday January 17, and Monday January 20, please check with your instructors as ACV classes may be held over Zoom. The ACV campus will re-open as usual on Tuesday January 21. The ACB Burnaby campus is unaffected and will remain open as usual during this time.
Applicants to the college who have not completed BC Mathematics 12 (or equivalent) with a minimum grade of C are automatically placed at MATH 099 level (i.e., eligible for MATH 099).
Alternatively, students who wish to have their math level assessed may take an internal Math Placement Test (MPT). The result of the MPT will determine whether a student possesses adequate Mathematics skills for direct entry to university-level mathematics (calculus).
The MPT test sessions are held in-person at the Burnaby campus. The test duration is 80 minutes.
The MPT is scored as follows:
Mathematics Placement Test (MPT)
| Score | Placement (Eligibility) | |
|---|---|---|
| Part 1 | Part 2 | |
| < 15 | MATH 099 | |
| > 15 | < 8 | MATH 100 |
| > 15 | > 8 | MATH 104 |
| > 15 | > 10 | MATH 151 |
Placement test results are valid for a period of two years from the date of sitting. A student may rewrite the MPT once per semester (see policy: Placement Test Rewrites).
