Math Course Placement

Incoming students, see your Next Steps Center for instructions.  

Course Eligibility Requirements

Each major at the UA has a specific math requirement. In order to register for a math course, you must satisfy the course's prerequisite and eligibility criteria. Students can meet the eligibility requirements for UA Math courses through Math Department approved prerequisite course work, completed generally within the last 18 months, or through the  PPL Assessment ( Math Placement Test). The PPL Assessment is for entry into courses at or below the level of Calculus I.  Incoming first year students can qualify through recent SAT I MSS (Math) or ACT Math scores.  

PPL Assessment scores in the table below are percentages.  Test scores are good for one year. SAT/ACT placement is for first year students only and scores must be recent.  Math 100 Final MCLG is for UA Math 100 students only. These scores can change at the discretion of the Math Department and are updated each February.

See the list of courses and registration requirements below.  PPL1 and PPLN are proctored PPL Assessment scores.
