Getting Started

Do I need to take a math placement test?

If you have earned any of the following scores/credits sufficient to place you into a math or stats course, within the past two years (or six consecutive semesters, including summer), you can use these as prerequisites and do not need to take the math placement exam:

  • A passing grade (C- or higher) in a college-level math course
  • A sufficient score on the ACT or SAT math exams
  • A sufficient score on an AP Calculus exam

What math do I need for my major?

All USU students need to meet the Quantitative Literacy (QL) requirement to graduate, regardless of major or program. Some majors require additional courses beyond the QL requirement.

To determine which math class(es) you should take, please talk to your academic advisor.

Math Skills Review Course
We offer a Math/Stats Skills Review course the week before Fall semester that is especially helpful if you have taken more than 2 years away from Mathematics.

You would register for it like any other course in Banner.
