"A code that initially indicates an undergraduate’s placement status in college level mathematics/quantitative reasoning courses and the method by which placement was determined by the close of the ERSS processing period for the first term in which the student was enrolled. Mathematics/Quantitative Reasoning Placement Status does not apply to transitory students (Enrollment Status equals 6). This element applies only to students entering as new undergraduates in fall 2018 or later."[1]
"Freshman skills assessment and recommended placement for general education written communication and mathematics/quantitative reasoning courses shall be based on multiple measures of academic proficiency. Such measures may include high school English and mathematics/quantitative reasoning course grades, high school grade point averages, grades in collegiate courses, ACT scores, SAT scores, Advanced Placement scores, International Baccalaureate scores, SAT subject tests or Smarter Balanced Assessment/Early Assessment Program scores.
- The CSU shall establish systemwide placement standards.
- The CSU Admissions Advisory Council (AAC) comprised of CSU faculty, students and administrators shall be responsible for the review and recommendation of revisions to systemwide policies regarding:
- Assessment of college readiness for successful completion of general education written communication and mathematics/quantitative reasoning courses;
- Preparatory requirements for general education written communication and mathematics/quantitative reasoning course placement; and
- The Early Start Program
- Each campus shall establish a student course-placement appeals process.
- Effective with this executive order, the English Placement Test (EPT) and the Entry- Level Mathematics (ELM) Test shall not be offered, and the EPT and * ELM committees are discontinued."[2]
