Challenging Placement in the Developmental Mathematics Program
Challenge of the placement is allowed ONE TIME and the Basic Mathematics and Algebra must be challenged separately and in sequence. Review material is on www.bergen.edu/testing and click on Accuplacer Study Guides. The ONE TIME challenge is taken in the Testing Center in the One Stop Center, Room OS-102.
College Credit
Developmental Mathematics courses are “non-degree” credits. This means the credits do not count in the total number of credits required for graduation. In most cases, these credits do not transfer to other colleges.
GPA – Grade Point Average
Developmental Mathematics Courses are averaged into the cumulative grade point average.
