Getting Started
Students entering the Chemistry or Mathematics sequences must take placement exams. These help ensure that you will be in the right course for your background in the area. For more information, check the FAQs on the departmental websites for the Chemistry and Mathematics exams.
• If you have AP credit, you may be able to use this as a prerequisite for certain courses. Make an appointment with the undergraduate advisor from the relevant department to make sure you are placed in the right course and that your work is entered correctly into the registration system.
• If you have other questions or problems, you can contact one of the undergraduate advisors for help.
