      NOTE:

  • You will have the opportunity at orientation, should you choose, to consult with a Mathematics Department faculty member regarding your course selection.*
  • If you have taken the Advanced Placement Exam (AP Exam) in mathematics, your score on that exam might alter your placement. For information on how the Department of Mathematics awards credit for AP scores, go to the Advanced Placement Credit information.
  • If you have transfer credit in mathematics from another university or college, this may allow you to schedule higher courses. This would include any coursework that you did at a university or college while you were still in high school.
