Calculus Waiver Exam

The Calculus Waiver Exam is an optional test designed for students who took calculus in high school but either did not take the AP Exam or received an AP score of 3 or below. Passing this test waives MTH-230: Calculus I, enabling students to register for upper-level math courses that require MTH-230 as a prerequisite. While passing this test waives MTH-230, students do not receive any college credits toward graduation. A passing score is 70 or higher.

Please sign up before August 23, 2025, by completing the following form. The test will be administered on August 24.

For students in majors with a choice of math course, passing this test also waives the math requirement for the major. For students in majors requiring MTH-180: Introduction to Statistics, passing this test does NOT waive this statistics requirement.

This exam is administered during New Student Orientation, and students who register will receive more details about permitted materials and the specific schedule in early August.
