Math Placement

Upon admission, incoming UNT freshmen are initially given a mathematics placement level based on a combination of their high school class rank and SAT or ACT math scores as described in the tables below. Initial mathematics placements expire after one year. It is therefore very important that all freshmen who have not completed their mathematics requirement take a mathematics course within their first two semesters at UNT.

Students have an opportunity to improve their placement level by taking the Mathematics Placement Test. In particular, all students planning to major in science, engineering, or mathematics, or planning on obtaining a Bachelor of Science in economics, as well as all students whose degree plan requires Math 1710 (Calculus I) should take the Math Placement Test prior to orientation.

For advice on which mathematics course to take, consult your advisor or this page.
