TAKE THE PPL ASSESSMENT: If you want to try to qualify for a course, make sure you have taken the PPL Assessment (Math Placement Test).
- Fall 2024 First Year Students can take the PPL two times through their Next Steps Center at no additional cost.
SUMMER OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE MY PLACEMENT: There are several opportunities for students during the summer.
-
- You can take a summer credit course through:
- U of A New Start Summer Program, which begins June 8, 2024.
- Taking a summer class at U of A. Consult your academic advisor if you are considering this option.
- Taking a summer class at non-U of A institutions. If you are considering this option, make sure you are taking the correct course. Check here or submit an evaluation.
- Participate in a U of A non-credit summer review program, Wildcat LEAP.
- Math Workshop 1: Monday, June 10 – Friday, June 28
- Math Workshop 2: Monday, July 15 – Friday, August 2
- If you participate in New Start, you cannot participate in Wildcat LEAP. There really isn't time to do both programs.
- If you are not able to participate in New Start or Wildcat Leap, you can review on your own before retesting.
- If you have taken the PPL, you can use the Prep and Learning module to review before testing again.
