The ELM examination is designed to assess the skill levels of entering CSU students in the areas of mathematics typically covered in three years of rigorous college preparatory mathematics courses in high school. Those undergraduate students who do not demonstrate college-level skills will be directed to courses or programs designed to help them attain these skills. This fee is nonrefundable and subject to change.
Some campuses charge a slightly higher ELM fee for some of the testing dates .
Please contact the test office at the campus where you plan to take the tests for information about whether you will be charged a slightly higher fee. The College Board SAT and Achievement Tests were renamed SAT I and SAT II, respectively, beginning March 1994. If you took the SAT before April 1995, contact the campus Admissions and Records Office or Test Office for appropriate exemption scores. According to CSU Executive Order 665, if you do not take these tests prior to the time of enrollment, you will not be allowed to enroll. The results of the test will not affect your admission to any CSU campus.
