Math Placement Test Results and Next Steps for Enrollment

The following graph indicates the course you qualify to enroll in based on your score.

What’s the difference between MATH 31A and 31AL?

Math 31A and 31AL cover the same topics, except that Math 31AL has an additional hour each week for students to go over precalculus material. Math 31AL is intended for students who score high on the “Math 1” spectrum but low on the “Math 31A” spectrum. Both courses allow students to move forward with Math 31B if they receive an acceptable grade. Students who need Math 31A for their major are allowed to take Math 31AL instead.

 

*Students who scored 80%+ but would like to enroll into Math 31AL for additional support in reviewing precalculus can email [e-mail] to request math advisors for assistance in enrolling into the course.

 

My placement score was not high enough to place me into Math 1, 31AL, 3A, or 31A. What do I do?

When can I enroll into the course I was placed in?

New incoming students will be enrolled on during orientation under the guidance of their New Student Advisors (NSA's).

Continuing students should be able to enroll the following day after 6 AM. MPT scores typically sync with the enrollment system at 6 AM every morning. However, due to occasional unresolved technical difficulties, some scores can take 3 days to sync.

Summer Session students can enroll into Math 1 or 31A before taking the MPT. Undergraduate math advisors will directly email summer session students a 10-character code in order to start the assessment with a deadline of when they should complete the test by. Missing this deadline will result in summer session students getting dropped from the course.
