Course Recommendations

Recommended Course Advisement

Standardized assessment tests are not used for placement into transfer-level Math and English courses at Moorpark College. These recommendations are a result of the information you have shared about your previous education history. The English, ESL (English as a Second Language), and Math recommended courses are listed as a useful guide to help you on your path to academic success.

English Recommendations

While all students are eligible to enroll in ENGL M01A, the English Self-Placement Guide helps you decide which course is best for you, given your individual goals, skills, and study habits. Students with a high school GPA below 2.6 are strongly encouraged to enroll in a section of ENGL M01A that is linked with the one-hour/week support course ENGL M91AS. Complete the English Self-Placement Guide or visit the Counseling Office for help in making this important decision.

Students seeking to enroll in ESL courses should consult the ESL self-placement for placement recommendations. Go to the ESL web page for information about the ESL program

Math Recommendations

Based on your educational history (high school grades, coursework, and GPA), the "First Year English & Math Course Recommendations" widget on my.vcccd.edu will show which courses you are eligible to take. The courses below reflect what may be recommended. Choose the Math pathway that matches your goals: SLAM (Statistics and Liberal Arts Math), Business, or STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). Many of our courses come paired with a built-in support course — same professor, extra practice, and dedicated tutor access — designed to help you succeed. Please consult your Degree Plan and/or discuss your course selection with a counselor.
