Tips for Picking a Math Class

Are you unsure which math class to enroll in? Here are some tips:

  • Tip 1: Review Placement Information – Review your Placement Report in eServices (under Academic Records/Placement) as well as the Math Placement Grid to determine which math course to enroll in.
  • Tip 2: Refer to Your Education Plan – You are not required to register for all of the courses listed in your Placement Report. Only enroll in the math course(s) needed for your academic goal or major. If you are unsure of which class satisfies the requirements for your academic goal or major, please refer to the Education Plan you received either from your New Student Orientation, Success Coach, or Counselor. If you do not have an education plan, please Schedule a Counseling Appointment.
  • Tip 3: STEM Students – See Math Placement Information for STEM Students for important information about your placements. Note: MATH 333 is not intended for STEM students.
  • Tip 4: Financial Aid Impacts – The number of units you are enrolled in may affect your financial aid, VA benefits (if applicable), and more. See Financial Aid Withdrawal Policy.
