Transition Math
If you completed a transition math course in high school, you may not need to take the math placement test.
Successful completion of a transition math course with a grade of C or better for both semesters will be reflected on the student's high school transcript with a portability code. The portability code is determined by which math class/pathway was chosen.
Transition math placement expires 18 months after the graduation data that appears on the official high school transcript.
Official high school transcripts should be submitted to the JJC Admissions Office.
If students successfully completed a STEM Pathway (portability code TM001) class in high school, they place into the following JJC classes:
- MATH 119 - Technical Math
- MATH 123 - Math for Elementary Teachers I*
- MATH 127 - Math for General Education
- MATH 128 - Elementary Statistics
- MATH 131 - College Algebra
- MATH 138 - Pre-Calculus I
*This course also has a geometry prerequisite that must be separate from the placement earned by the transition math course. To meet the geometry prerequisite, the student must provide high school transcripts verifying two semesters (a complete year) of high school geometry with an average grade of a C or better and no failing grade, or the student must score appropriately on the Geometry Placement Test at JJC or earn a grade of a C or better in MATH 095 Geometry at JJC.
If students successfully completed a Quantitative Literacy and Statistics Pathway (portability code TM002) class in high school, they place into the following JJC classes:
- MATH 119 - Technical Math
- MATH 127 - Math for General Education
- MATH 128 - Elementary Statistics
If students successfully completed a Technical Math Pathway (portability code TM003) class in high school, they place into the following JJC class:

TM002 | MATH 119 - Technical Math MATH 127 - Math for General Education MATH 128 - Elementary Statistics |
