UC - Math Placement Test

 
 
 
 

ADU students from CAS (with the exception of Environmental Science students) and COBA are required to take MTG100 (College Mathematics) as a University Requirement course. As for CECS students (with the exception of Electrical, Civil, Mechanical, and Computer Engineering students) and Environmental Science students from CAS, they should take MTT101 (Mathematics for Science and Technology) as a University Requirement course.

Students who wish to enroll in MTT101, including CECS students (with the exception of Electrical, Civil, Mechanical, and Computer Engineering students) and Environmental Science students, must take and pass the Math Placement Test (MPT). If they fail the MPT, they have the choice to either retake it (according to the MPT scheduled dates) or enroll in MTG100.

As for CECS students of Electrical, Civil, Mechanical, and Computer Engineering, they are advised to refer to the Calculus Placement Test (CPT) document in CAS.
