Assessment and Placement
Please note that assessment is mandatory for first-semester students.
All students entering Daytona State
must take the Florida College Placement Test (CPT) or submit a state of Florida college ready diploma or
acceptable Advanced Placement, SAT or ACT scores that exempt them from the college preparatory program or they must
submit college transcripts that show the completion of Freshman English I or
Intermediate Algebra.
Students who score below
the minimum scores on one or more of the three sections of the CPT must complete college preparatory
requirements prior to enrolling in college-level courses. Students have the
following options at Daytona State:
· Complete Daytona State College Preparatory
courses (ENC 0001, REA 0001, MAT 0002, MAT 0024) as placed by the assessment
instrument. Students who place into the College Prep program for mathematics
must complete Intermediate Algebra (MAT1033). Students who place into
both ENC 0001 and REA 0001 must complete
Dynamics of Student Success (SLS1122). MAT 1033 and SLS 1122 are college credit courses;
however, MAT 1033 can only be used as elective credit toward the AA degree. Upon
the successful completion of the College Prep program, students may enroll in
college level courses for which the co-requisites or pre-requisites are met.
· The Academic Support Center offers
Vocational Preparatory Instruction (VPI) for the TABE exam for those students
who have not met the basic entry / exit level test requirements.
· Improve scores on the
CPT by enrolling in courses offered
by the Daytona State Adult Education Program. Students exercising this option must
retake and pass the appropriate sections of CPT prior to enrolling in college
level courses.
· Another option is
to utilize the
services of a private company to achieve higher scores on the CPT. Daytona State can provide a list of
private companies, who have requested to be included on the list of such
providers, including information on how to contact these companies. Students
exercising this option must retake and pass the appropriate sections of the CPT prior to enrolling in college
level courses. The list of providers is available from a counselor or advisor.
(Companies on the list of private providers are not affiliated with Daytona State in
any way, and Daytona State does not endorse or warrant their services. Daytona State assumes no
responsibility related to the operations of these providers, and specifically
disclaims any and all liabilities resulting from or arising out of or in
connection with students’ use of their products and services.)
Course Requirements – Based on students’ college
placement scores and the option they select to fulfill college preparatory

regular class sessions.
· Students must
continue to enroll in the college prep courses until they complete the
program and pass the College Prep Exit Exam.
