Calculus Waiver Tests


Students who have not received credit or advanced placement by means of these examinations, but believe their preparation in high school is substantially equivalent to MATH-1350: Calculus I and/or MATH-1360: Calculus II may place out of these courses by taking the Calculus Waiver Tests. Students who pass the appropriate test will receive a course waiver and may register for more advanced courses. However, credit is not awarded for placing out of Calculus I or II via the Waiver Tests.

The Calculus Waiver Tests will be administered in person. Students who wish to take a Calculus Waiver Test or wish to place out of MATH-2250: Linear Algebra or out of MATH-2370: Multivariable Calculus need to contact Professor Michael Raney, who will administer the corresponding waiver test. For Fall 2023, the waiver exams will be administered in person in Reiss 262 both on Friday, August 18 from 1:00-3:00 pm and on Tuesday, August 22 from 1:00-3:00 pm.

Note: Each of the Waiver Tests is a two-hour exam and must be completed in one sitting. Calculators are not allowed.
