FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I know what my math placement level is (or if I even have one?)
A: Your math placement level is listed on your Advising Transcript. To find your Advising Transcript, go to my.uncc.edu and select Banner. On the Student Services / Student Account tab, select Student Records, then Advising Transcript. Use “Transcript Level: All Levels” and “Transcript Type: Web Transcript.” If you have a math placement level, it will be listed at the top of the Advising Transcript under “Student Attributes.” (Note that the levels which correspond to ACT/SAT scores are given in the table below.)

Q: Which math classes can I take at each Math Level?
A:  

*Major department approval may be required.

Q: What if I do worse on the math placement test than I did on my SAT/ACT or on an earlier attempt?
A: We will utilize the highest math placement that you are eligible for. For example, if you are placed at ML2 by the SAT, and ML1 by the UNC Charlotte math placement test, you will remain at ML2.

Q: Which math courses fulfill the Mathematical and Logical Reasoning requirement for general education?
