The ELM examination tests for entry level mathematics skills acquired through three years of rigorous college preparatory mathematics coursework (normally Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry). All undergraduate students must take the test or be exempted from it prior to placement in appropriate university mathematics coursework.

The results of the ELM examination will not affect admission eligibility but will be used for placement in appropriate coursework. Specific policies regarding retesting and placement are determined by the campus.

Exemptions from the test are given only to those students who can present proof of one of the following:

	A score of 550 or above on the mathematics section of the College Board SAT I Reasoning Test or on the College Board SAT II Mathematics Test Level I, IC (Calculator), II or IIC (Calculator).
	A score of 23 or above on the enhanced ACT Mathematics Test taken October 1989 or later.
	A score of 24 or above on the ACT Mathematics Test taken prior to October 1989.
	A score of 3 or above on the College Board Advanced Placement mathematics examination (AB or BC).
	A score of 550 or above the Level I, IC, II or IIC Sat II: Mathematics Test.
	A score of 3 or above on the College Board Advanced Placement Statistics examination.
	CSU Early Assessment Program (EAP) exemption
	Conditional exemption from CSU Early Assessment Program (EAP) and validation of at least a "C" grade in a senior course above the level of Algebra II (e.g., Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Statistics) or repetition of Algebra II or a laboratory science course that requires Algebra II as a prerequisite (e.g., Physics, Chemistry).
	Completion and transfer of a course that satisfies the General Education-Breadth or Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) quantitative reasoning requirement, provided such course was completed with a grade of "C" or better.
