For new students, math placement is determined by taking the UW System Math Placement Exam. On campus, this is facilitated by the Advisement Center:
Based on your test score, you will be given a placement level of 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4.
The following chart shows which courses a student can register for at a given placement level.
