How do I submit my SAT/ACT/AP scores or college transcript (college credit)?  

Once submitted, you'll see these placements in your U of A record as an MPLF score. Note that SAT/ACT math scores are used for placement for incoming first year students only. 

SAT Math Scores:

SAT Math scores must be from 8/1/2024-present to be used for placement

• Sign in to your College Board account, then go to the Send SAT Scores page. 
  
  • Look for Get Your SAT Scores
  • Click on View Details
  • Go to Download Report to access a pdf of your full unofficial score report.
  • A downloadable version of your score report is available under My Score Reports in PDF format.
  • We need to see your full name, test date, and SAT I Math score in one image or pdf.

ACT Math Scores:

ACT Math scores must be from 8/1/2024-present to be used for placement

• Sign in to your MyACT account
  • Go to Scores
  • Select your test date
  • Right click to save the scores to your desktop as a pdf.
  • A downloadable version of your ACT test score is available by using your browser’s print option - "print" as a pdf file.

AP Math Scores: 

Note that if you already submitted an unofficial AP or other score report through the PAW, you do not need to send another one to the Math Department. It takes a few days to process. 

If you will not have your AP scores before your registration date, then treat this situation as if you do not have AP credit. Take the PPL Assessment if it's recommended in your Next Steps Center math placement message.

Send Official Scores to U of A:

• Sign in to your College Board account
• Send your scores to the University of Arizona. Visit the College Board Sending AP Scores FAQ page.
• Your official scores can take 1-3 weeks to process in the university system.

Send Unofficial Scores to the Math Department:

• If you have official scores, and you are within 3 weeks of your registration date, ALSO send an unofficial score report to the Math Placement Office:
  • A downloadable version of your score report is available in AP Scores for Students in PDF format.
  • We need to see your full name, test date, and AP score in one image or pdf.
• You still also need to send your Official score report to the university to get your credits accounted for.

College Credit:

Note that if you already submitted an unofficial college transcript through the PAW, you do not need to send another one to the Math Department. It takes a few days to process. 

If your course will not be completed or you will not have access to an unofficial college transcript prior to your registration date, then treat this situation as if you do not have college credit. Take the PPL Assessment if it's recommended in your Next Steps Center math placement message. 

Generally, your math placement (MPLF for first year students) is updated if you have a course that matches U of A College Algebra (Math 112), Precalculus (Math 120R), Calculus (125 or 122A/B), Calculus II (Math 129), or Vector Calculus (Math 223, Calc III). For other courses, you will need to consult your advisor.

Send Official Transcript to U of A:

• Send the transcript from the college institution, NOT your high school transcript. Sign into your college's website to order an Official transcript.
• If you have already sent your official college level transcript to U of A, your math placement (MPLF score) may not be updated until one week prior to your registration date.

Send Unofficial Transcript to the Math Department:

• If you've completed your college course, and you are within 3 weeks of your registration date, ALSO send an unofficial transcript to the Math Placement Office:
  • Download the full Unofficial Transcript in PDF format.
  • We need to see your full name, the institution's name, the course name/number, course dates, and final course grade in one image or pdf.
• You still need to send your official transcript to the university to get your credits accounted for.
