Math Placement

For students majoring in the sciences, mathematics, health professions, engineering, and computing

Math classes are particularly foundational for students majoring in the sciences, mathematics, health professions, engineering, and computing. To ensure you are successful, we want to make sure you are being placed in the right math class for you. The most reliable ways for us to determine math placement for students in these majors include:

  • ACT or SAT Scores
  • Earned college credit (through dual enrollment or an exam, like AP, IB, CLEP, etc.)
  • Math Placement Exam

If you have not taken the ACT/SAT or earned college credit for math, we strongly encourage you to take one of those exams (if one is available) or to sign up for one of our math placement exams below:

For this placement exam, you鈥檒l need to complete the MyMathTest placement module, including the Algebra Placement Exam, the Trigonometry Placement Exam (if wanting to place into MATH 1441 Calculus I), and study modules. To register:

Tips for Academic Success

Verify Your Attendance

Georgia Southern needs to know if you plan to take the courses you are enrolled in. To do this, you will complete a short verification quiz in each one of your classes. If you do not complete these, you will be automatically dropped from the course(s). This could have Financial Aid implications, so you will want to make sure this gets done.

Add / Drop Period

The first four days of fall or spring semesters are your opportunity to make changes to your schedule. Contact your Academic Advisor if you want to make any changes to your class schedule. Summer and minimester courses have a shorter add/drop period, so make sure to check the official academic calendar!

Know How Your Courses Are Structured

Before you start classes, make sure you know how your courses are structured. Is your schedule fully face-to-face? Is there a mix of hybrid or fully online? You can learn how this course is structured in several different ways.

  • Review the course description on the .
  • Contact the faculty member of the course.
  • Check your courses in Folio closer to the start of the semester.

Become Familiar with Your Academic Support Team

If you need accommodations while attending Georgia Southern, make sure you speak with the Student Accessibility Resource Center! You will also want to familiarize yourself with the Academic Success Center. They offer tutoring, peer mentoring and workshops!

Frequently Asked Questions

After you sign up for SOAR, please check your Enrollment Portal / New Student Checklist to make sure you’ve completed the Advising Questionnaire. Once you have completed your questionnaire and cleared all holds your advisor will begin building your schedule. You will receive your schedule and have a chance to speak with the advising team at your SOAR session.

Advisors review available courses to build a schedule for you based on requirements, progression in your selected major, incoming course credit and other information on your Advising Questionnaire. If you think we registered you for a class you may have already earned credit for, please reach out to us so we can work on adjusting your schedule!

The first step is to ensure you have submitted all of your official transcripts with final grades so that your courses can be evaluated. Reminder: If you did dual enrollment you need your official transcript submitted from the college where you completed the classes (your high school transcript will not transfer the credit).

Your advisor will work with academic departments and the Office of Admissions to evaluate all incoming credit and determine where your credit will place in your degree.

  • Freshmen:聽You will be able to adjust your own schedule a few days before the start of the term. If you need to make changes chat with an advisor at SOAR or email your advisor.
  • Transfers, Adult Learners, and Fully Online Students:聽You will be able to adjust your own schedule after your advisor has registered you for your first semester of classes. However, we recommend reviewing your advising documents and connecting with your academic advisor if you have questions before making any changes!

Advisors recommend 15 to 17 credit hours for students who want to pursue a 4-year graduation plan. You may adjust this if you are taking summer courses, bringing in transfer credit, or if you have an alternative graduation plan. It is important to keep in mind you must take at least 12 credit hours to be a full time student, which can be important for financial aid.
