In order to enroll in a mathematics course, or a course with a mathematics prerequisite, all new students must demonstrate the appropriate level of mathematics proficiency. This is done by taking a proctored mathematics exam or its equivalent (appropriate transfer credit, AP scores, etc.) New students must take the proctored exam prior to their scheduled orientation.
If you require an accommodation for the assessment you will need to take it at DSS.
Appointments can be made by contacting us at 631-632-6748.
In order to provide accommodations DSSmust receive and review your Documentation.
