Note
* Before you can take any Math course, you must complete the Math Placement Test.
The @ symbol is used as a wildcard to represent any valid course number in a subject
area or any subject area.
For example:
- BIO @|| means any Biology course
- BIO 3@|| means any 300-level Biology course
- @ 3@|| means any subject at the 300-level
In short, @ stands in for “any course number,” and when used like @ 3@, it means any course from any department at that level.
