The placement test is given during regional testing in the spring and during the summer freshman orientation program. After taking the placement test, each student meets with a faculty adviser to receive information and advice on the most appropriate courses in which to enroll. Credit by Examination Students who have completed college-level mathematics while in high school may receive college credit through Credit by Examination which is available for calculus and several other courses. The Credit by Examination tests in mathematics are administered at any time during each semester, but students are encouraged to take them during the first two weeks of the semester or during the first week of Summer Session. Students wanting to earn credit by examination may obtain further information at the Department of Mathematics.
Early registration is encouraged.
Upon successful completion of these programs, the two universities offer college credit for calculus taken while in high school, and UW-Eau Claire recognizes these college credits. To obtain credit, the student must present the letter from either the University of Minnesota or the UW-Madison certifying that credit has been granted for the calculus course taken in high school under their cooperative program. The letter should be shown to the student's adviser and then submitted to the Registration Office at the time of registration.
