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/L, REA 0001/L, MAT 0002/L, MAT 0024/L) 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 any combination of two college preparatory courses 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.)
