AP Credit
Advanced Placement Exams in Calculus and Statistics
We offer credit for advanced placement exams in both calculus and statistics.
Mathematics Placement
The ALEKS Placement Assessment must be taken by students who intend to register for MATH 50, 50C, 61, 61A, or 71.
- A score of 76 or higher is needed to place into MATH 71.
- A score of 61 or higher is needed to place into MATH 50, 61, or 61A.
- Students who score 60 or lower normally place into MATH 006A.
Students who plan ultimately to take calculus and who earn scores of 55 to 60 may accelerate their math course progress by registering for MATH 50C.
ALEKS is administered online through the MyApps section of the Hofstra Portal. Students going through first-year orientation will be given access to the assessment. If you are a continuing student or a transfer student, contact the Center for University Advising (advising@hofstra.edu) if you need access to ALEKS.
You may take a practice ALEKS assessment at home and use the results to guide your studying in the ALEKS learning modules. You will then be asked to retake the assessment on campus with a proctor present to determine your placement.
CAMCLE
103 Roosevelt Hall
MATH 70C - Computer-Aided Mathematics Collaborative Learning Environment (CAMCLE) is intended for students who withdraw from MATH 71 and who wish to augment their precalculus abilities before reenrolling in MATH 71. The topics covered in this course are fundamental to the study of calculus.
Math Tutoring Center
The Mathematics Department runs a free virtual tutoring center staffed by undergraduates. No appointment is necessary. Just stop by with your textbook and homework, get to work, and ask your questions as they arise.
