Placement for Mathematics Courses
Your advisor will recommend a math sequence that is appropriate for you, based on your ACT/SAT scores and the mathematics courses you took in high school. Your major will determine the correct sequence. If your major is undecided, you should choose the PreCalculus Algebra sequence.
