We want to make sure you're placed in the class that's just right for you! If you've been out of high school for 10 or more years and have never completed a college course, you may need to take the Accuplacer Reading and Writing assessments. These assessments will help your Student Success Advisor get a better idea of where you should start with your English courses. 

If you have already successfully completed college courses (either at Delta or another college/university), it's unlikely you'll need to take any Accuplacer assessments, but the option is available to all students. 

If you choose to take the Accuplacer, please contact the Testing Center at testingcenter@delta.edu or 989-686-9182 to set up a testing appointment. 

Thank you for completing the English Guided Placement Survey. Based on your responses, we recommend that you take either ENG 099 or ENG 111 with support. Please be sure to discuss which course recommendation is the best fit for you with your Academic Advisor.

English 099 is designed to provide students with opportunity to improve their reading and writing skills in an interactive and collaborative setting before moving on in the composition sequence (English 111A in Spring/Summer 2024, English 111C/096 starting in Fall 2024, followed by English 112A). This course includes the practice of personal and academic writing with special attention given to individual needs, which may include organization, sentence structure and variety, correct usage, and vocabulary development. It also includes practicing active reading strategies to understand, interpret, and apply information from reading. This class is designed to be an option for students who do not feel prepared to enter a credit-bearing English 111. The purpose of this class is to assist students in developing the writing, reading, and study skills that are necessary to college success. This course moves at a slower pace in that the reading and writing assignments have longer turnaround times with significant scaffolding from the Instructor. Although it provides no credit toward graduation requirements, English 099 is an excellent choice for students who want to prepare themselves for academic study and better their chances for college success.

An English 111 with support (English 111A in Spring/Summer 2024, English 111C/096 starting in Fall 2024) is designed to provide students with significant scaffolding to read and write at the college level in an interactive and collaborative setting before progressing through the composition sequence to ENG 112A. English 111A is a three-credit, two contact hour course (five hours total). English 111C/096 is two paired three-credit courses (six hours total). Both support models contain additional instructional and workshop time with the Instructor to support reading and writing assignments more than is typical in English 111.

This course develops fluent, effective, and confident writers. English 111A and English 111C/096 offer students experience in using an effective writing process and technology to produce formal, college-level texts. Students in this course will use reading and language awareness to further their development of writing as well as practice the use of critical thinking skills in reading and writing and be introduced to basic research skills related to academic writing. 

Please contact the Academic Advising office at 989-686-9444 or advising@delta.edu to discuss these two course placement options to determine the best fit for you.

Your first math course may depend on your program of study.  Some programs and degrees have a required math course requirement.  Due to the variety of programs and corresponding math requirements, it is best that you consult with an advisor when selecting a math course.

Some programs require Mathematical Explorations (MTH 118W), Statistics (MTH 208W or MTH 209W), or College Algebra (MTH 122W). Other programs require Trigonometry (MTH 121). MTH 121 requires a College Algebra (MTH 122W) prerequisite.

If you are feeling unsure in your math skills and you are required to take MTH 118W, MTH 208W MTH 209W, or MTH 122W, you could consider taking a course with embedded support such as MTH 118AW, MTH 208AW, MTH 209AW, or MTH 122AW.

If you think you may need more help than the course with embedded support there are other options available to you.

MTH 095 is a developmental math course and does not count toward graduation. 

This guided self-placement survey is not perfect. It may recommend a course below your abilities.  If you believe you are prepared and ready for a math course, you have a couple of options:

1.  A course with embedded support such as 118AW, 208AW, 209AW, or 122AW. These math courses typically count toward graduation.
2. If you feel that you are very prepared and could handle the faster pace of a math course without the extra support, MTH 118W, MTH 208W, MTH209W, or MTH 122W may be the best course for you. 

Also, consider your program and educational goals before selecting your first math course.  Some programs require a specific math course, and you should always consider taking a required program course before taking the recommended course of this guided self-placement survey.

Includes numeration systems, sets and their properties, classification of number systems (whole numbers through real number), operations and their properties, arithmetical algorithms, and problem solving. Uses a variety of learning styles, manipulatives, and calculator and computer applications. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Standards are incorporated.

MTH 117A reviews (very briefly) fractions, decimals, percentages, and proportions. Includes a study of the metric system and the household system with applications in converting from one system to another.
