FAQs:
Are you having trouble registering for your next course?
- First, check if your transfer credit is in the U of A system.
- If your transfer credits are not in UAccess Student Center yet, you can send an unofficial transcript to the Math Placement Office.
- It must include your full name, the institution's name, term taken, course, and final grade.
- For registration into courses at or below the level of Calculus I, the transfer prerequisite must be less than 2 years old. Check how course eligibility works here.
How is credit awarded?
- The Math Department does not determine the number of credits that transfer in from a particular institution.
- Quarter system units are converted to semester units by multiplying the units by 2/3.
- Questions regarding this should be directed to the Office of the Registrar.
