5.2. Satisfy G-Strand (Math 106 or PHIL 110) Math Requirement Through PPL Assessment Score

This applies to students in a G-strand major in a catalog year prior to Fall 2026.  This policy is discontinued as of Fall 2026.

This only applies toward majors in the College of Fine Arts, Humanities, Education, or majors in SBS  who can take Math 106 or PHIL 110 to satisfy their foundation math requirement. If you are not sure, check your Academic Advisement Report in UAccess Student or consult your Academic Advisor.

Students in a catalog year prior to Fall 2026 may satisfy the Math 106 or PHIL 110 requirement through the PPL Assessment (math placement test). Please see rules below:

• The student can take the examination twice during the student's first year at the University of Arizona.   
• This is a proctored test administered through Respondus, or through the Math Department on certain dates.  
• There is a fee for taking this test, generally a $26 testing fee. There may be an additional proctoring fee.
• A score of 60% or higher is required on the PPL Assessment. 
• You do not receive credit, it just satisfies your Math 106 or PHIL 110 requirement.
