1.6. First Year Students: I want to try to place into a higher math course for fall. What are my options?

TAKE THE PPL ASSESSMENT: If you want to try to qualify for a course, make sure you have taken the PPL Assessment (Math Placement Test).  

  • Fall 2024 First Year Students can take the PPL two times through their Next Steps Center at no additional cost.  

SUMMER OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE MY PLACEMENT: There are several opportunities for students during the summer.

    • You can take a summer credit course through:
      • U of A New Start Summer Program, which begins June 8, 2024.  
      • Taking a summer class at U of A.  Consult your academic advisor if you are considering this option.  
      • Taking a summer class at non-U of A institutions.  If you are considering this option, make sure you are taking the correct course.  Check here or submit an evaluation. 
    •  Participate in a U of A non-credit summer review program, Wildcat LEAP.  
      • Math Workshop 1: Monday, June 10 – Friday, June 28
      • Math Workshop 2: Monday, July 15 – Friday, August 2 
      • If you participate in New Start, you cannot participate in Wildcat LEAP. There really isn't time to do both programs. 
    • If you are not able to participate in New Start or Wildcat Leap, you can review on your own before retesting.
