Recommendations for Students with AP or Transfer Credit

Readiness Assessment

Students in MATH 1060, MATH 1080, and 2060 will take a readiness assessment within the first few days of class. The assessment will measure how prepared the students are to take the course for which they are registered. Based on the results of the assessment, students may choose to move down to MATH 1040, MATH 1060, or MATH 1080. More instruction about the assessment and how to move down after the start of classes will be given in class.

We have found that students coming in with transfer credit, and even AP credit, aren't always as 'ready' to take our calculus courses as their scores/grades indicate. It may be advantageous for a student to repeat one or more of the courses they transfer in.

Registering for Courses Before AP or Transfer Credit Gets to Clemson in Fall

If you need to register for MATH 1020, 1030, 1040, 1060, 1080, 2060, 2070, 2080, 3110, or STAT 3090, register for these classes using section 888. You will receive an email in mid-July and again before classes begin with instructions. In short: Those meeting the prerequisites will be moved to a real section that fits in your schedule before classes begin. If you do not get the credit you are expecting, please drop yourself and register for the prerequisite course.

If you need to register for another MATH or STAT course, you will need to wait for your AP or Transfer Credit to come in before you may register for the course.
