How do I submit my SAT/ACT/AP scores or official transcript (college credit)?

IMPORTANT: If your orientation is within the next TWO WEEKS, and your placement has not been updated in your Next Steps Center based on SAT Math, ACT Math, or college Math credit, then you need to send an unofficial score report or college transcript to the Math Placement Office to update your math placement.  Follow the instructions below. 

SAT Math Scores:

SAT Math scores must be from 8/1/2022-present to be used for placement

• Sign in to your College Board account, then go to the Send SAT Scores page. 
  
  • See details about SAT sign in  here. 
• Please send an unofficial score report to the Math Department Placement Office.
• A downloadable version of your score report is available under My Score Reports in PDF format. Submit this pdf score report here. (We need to see your full name, test date, and SAT I Math score in one image or pdf.)

ACT Math Scores:

ACT Math scores must be from 8/1/2022-present to be used for placement

• Sign in to your MyACT account
  • See details about MyACT here. 
• Please send an unofficial score report to the Math Department Placement Office. 
• A downloadable version of your ACT test score is available by using your browser’s print option - "print" as a pdf file. Submit this pdf score report here. (We need to see your full name, test date, and ACT Math score in one image or pdf.)

AP Math Scores:

If you will not have your AP scores before your orientation date, then treat this situation as if you do not have AP credit. Take the PPL Assessment if it's recommended in your Next Steps Center math placement message. You will be notified if you need to change your schedule after your scores are processed.  

Send Official Scores to U of A:

• Sign in to your College Board account
• Send your scores to the University of Arizona. More info about sending scores here.
• Your official scores can take 1-3 weeks to process in the university system.

If you have official scores, but you are within 3 weeks of Orientation
Send an unofficial score report to the Math Department:

• A downloadable version of your score report is available in AP Scores for Students in PDF format. Submit this pdf score report here. (We need to see your full name, test date, and AP score in one image or pdf.)
• You still also need to send your Official score report to the university to get your credits accounted for.

College Credit:

Dual Enrollment/Transfer Credit: We need to verify completion of your transfer math course before we can update your math placement. If your course will not be completed or you will not have access to an unofficial college transcript prior to your orientation date, then you may need to take the PPL Assessment.  

If you have already sent your official college level transcript to U of A, your math placement may not be updated until one week prior to your orientation date. 

Generally, your math placement (MPLF for first year students) is updated if you have a course that matches U of A College Algebra (Math 112), Precalculus (Math 120R), Calculus (125 or 122A/B), Calculus II (Math 129), or Vector Calculus (Math 223, Calc III). For other courses, you will need to consult your advisor at orientation. 

See how college math credit works. 

• Send your OFFICIAL Transcript to the University of Arizona.
  • Send the transcript from the college institution, NOT your high school transcript. Sign into your college's website to order an Official transcript. 
• If your New Student Orientation is less than two weeks away, ALSO send an unofficial transcript to the Math Department Placement Office.
  • Download the full Unofficial Transcript in PDF format. Submit this pdf transcript here. (We need to see your full name, the institution's name, the course name/number, course dates, and final course grade in one image or pdf.)
  • You still need to send your official transcript to the university to get your credits accounted for.
