Important Information Regarding Math at OU

On the day of enrollment, an OU Scholars advisor will discuss with you the math requirements for your intended degree. Your advisor will assist you in determining whether placement testing will be necessary prior to enrolling in a math course.

• Math placement at OU is determined by:
      1) High school coursework completed, and
      2) High school overall GPA, and
      3) Highest ACT or SAT math sub-score.
The ACT/SAT score used for placement must be current – within the last calendar year.
• You will have the opportunity to take the COMPASS Math Placement exam if your ACT/SAT scores and high school GPA place you into a lower level math course than you desire.
• In some cases, students who are awaiting AP Calculus results may take the Calculus Placement Exam to gauge preparedness for Calculus II.
• Transferred courses in math taken from an accredited institution may serve as a prerequisite when appropriate. However, students who have taken College Algebra at another institution must have their placement validated by the COMPASS math exam before enrolling in a higher level math course.
• You may bring your own calculator for use on the placement exams.
