What do I need to do to add the next U of A Math course based on my Math credit? If your credits are not in the U of A system, make sure you send an unofficial score report to the Math Placement Office.

If you haven’t already, send an Official Score Report to the U of A Registrar. This is not provided through your High School.

 

It is the student's responsibility to make sure he/she is enrolled in the correct U of A Math course after college credits are processed into the U of A system. Once your score is processed by U of A, you can view your credit in UAccess Student: Academic Record: Transfer Credit.  Students can contact the Math Placement Office for additional information.

 

 

First-Year Students, or students who attend freshman orientation, must have a placement through SAT I MSS, ACT MATH, or ALEKS PPL for entry into a course at or below the level of Calculus I, even students with college math credits. Incoming students need to refer to the information in the Next Steps Center.
