Executive Order (EO) 665 is a policy passed by the California State University (CSU) Board of Trustees dealing with students who are not prepared to take college level math and writing courses when they are admitted to one of the 23 campuses of the CSU. This policy has been in effect at all campuses since 1998.

Under EO 665, all students who enter a CSU campus as first time freshmen or lower division transfers are required to take the Entry Level Math (ELM) and the English Placement Test (ET) unless they are exempt.

These tests, if required, must be taken and the results must be forwarded to the campus, before a student can register for English and/or Math classes. While each campus in the CSU has its own programs, all must adhere to the regulations of EO 665.

Students who score below the required minimum must complete English and/or Math proficiency coursework during their first year of enrollment, otherwise they are not eligible to enroll in their second year.

Students are highly encouraged to complete proficiency requirements prior to enrolling at Cal Maritime, but at times this is not possible. Listed below are several institutions and courses where students can complete their proficiency requirements. Students must first check with the Office of the Registrar at Cal Maritime for course approval prior to enrolling in any off-campus course.
