CSU Freshman Proficiency Rates

CSU Trustee policy is that new students must demonstrate proficiency in math and English before they can enroll in college-level math and English courses. Proficiency is based on performance on standardized tests or performance on the CSU Entry Level Math (ELM) exam and the CSU English Placement Test (EPT). The annual proficiency rates, and their opposites-remediation rates, are available below for each CSU campus.

The Early Assessment Program is an option taken by high school students as an addition to the Golden State Test and counts as a high school equivalent of ELM and EPT. The EAP is a collaborate effort with the State Board of Education, the California Department of Education and the California State University (CSU). The EAP provides opportunities for high school students in the 11th grade to measure their readiness in English and mathematics for college-level studies and then receive services in the 12th grade to improve their skills.
