Pre-Approval Form
Notes on the evaluation process:
- We complete evaluations as quickly as we can, but some may take up to two weeks to complete.
- You will need to provide links to ALL Math (and Statistics if applicable) course descriptions, not just the description of the course that you took or want to take. Failure to provide this will delay your evaluation.
- Online Courses: Online, correspondence, or distance learning courses are NOT approved unless ALL exams are proctored and proctored exams account for more than 50% of the overall grade. In the Evaluation Form, you will need to provide the course syllabus, with grading policy and exam policy, stating that ALL exams are proctored as part of the course syllabus and policies for all students enrolled.
- Registration: In order to qualify for courses at or below the level of U of A Calculus I, students need a recent prerequisite (less that 2 years old), or a sufficient PPL Assessment score. FY students can use SAT/ACT scores during their first year only.
STEP 3:
Is your credit in the U of A system?
- Follow these instructions to check your transfer credit report.
- If your credit is NOT shown in the U of A system, send an unofficial transcript to the Math Placement Office.
- Make sure you have sent an official transcript to U of A.
