Admission Requirement in Mathematics
Transfer applicants MUST meet the admission requirement in mathematics. This requirement
may be met by completing:
- A transferable mathematics course (e.g., college algebra) with
a grade of "C-" or higher OR
- An intermediate algebra course (or equivalent) with a grade of
"B-" or higher OR
- Algebra I, geometry, and algebra II with grades of "C"
or higher while in high school (submit a high school transcript).
- The Colorado State University Mathematics Placement Exam (MPE).
Students whose MPE results indicate that they are only cleared to register for M
CC130 and no other mathematics courses also must complete units 1-3 of the ELM Tutorial
to satisfy the admission requirement in mathematics. Prospective and incoming students
may take the MPE one time from a remote (off-campus) location. All students may
take the MPE up to two additional times on campus. For more information about the
Colorado State University Mathematics Placement Exam including customized review
materials, go to www.math.colostate.edu/placement/placement.shtml
Second bachelor's candidates/postgraduate applicants are exempt from the admission
requirement in mathematics, though mathematics credits may be required for graduation.
