2.4. Prerequisites taken at another institution
Courses and Instructors → Registration Information → Prerequisites taken at another institution
In order to guarantee that a course will transfer, courses taken outside of Arizona need to be pre-approved using the Math Transfer Credit Approval Form. Arizona courses may also need to be evaluated if they do not appear on the Arizona Course Equivalency Guide. We do not start course evaluations for summer until the end of March.
If you are taking a class below the level of Calculus I at another institution, you will need to complete the course BEFORE you are able to register for the subsequent course at the U of A. To be cleared to register for the subsequent U of A course, please provide documentation showing successful completion of the prerequisite course. Once your grade has posted, email math-placement@arizona.edu with a PDF of your unofficial transcript or a screenshot from your student portal that includes in a single picture:
- your full name
- the name of the institution
- the course name and course number
- the semester it was taken
- and your final course grade
Be sure to include your U of A student ID number when you send the email.
If you are taking Calculus I or higher this summer at another institution, you will still need to provide proof of successful completion to math-placement@arizona.edu before the start of your U of A class, but you will be able to register for the subsequent U of A Fall course by June 1st.
