Advanced Placement of one or two courses in mathematics is available to students who have taken the Advanced Placement Examination or an equivalent furnished by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. Students are urged to take the AP Examination for this purpose when possible. The decision about granting such placement and its amount will be made by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science after the student has consulted with the chairperson. Normally a minimum score of 3 on the exam will be necessary, but such a score alone will not guarantee advanced placement. A student placed in Mathematics 112 will receive one course credit; two course credits will be granted if the student is placed in a course above the level of Mathematics 112. In, general, we encourage all students with Advanced Placement credit to consult with the Department Chair concerning the optimum placement for them before they schedule courses.
