Students who have passed MATH 45 - Preparation for Statistics are eligible for MATH 80 - Probability and Statistics. If you have passed MATH 45 or you pass MATH 45 this semester, you are encouraged to continue along the sequence and enroll in MATH 80 - Probability and Statistics. Alternatively, some students can satisfy their transfer requirement by taking ECON 5 - Introductor Statistics or PSYC 5 - Psych Statistics.

If you are currently taking MATH 45 and fail it, note that the following changes in placement apply to you:

• Students with a HS GPA ≥ 2.3 are eligible for MATH 80 - Probability and Statistics.
• All students are eligible for MATH 80 - Probability and Statistics if they also enroll in MATH 80S - Support for Statistics

So what should you do if you fail MATH 45? Talk to your instructor for more specific guidance, but in general you have three options:

• Retake MATH 45 (this is a two-semester pathway to transfer, but you would be better prepared when you take MATH 80 after passing MATH 45)
• Take MATH 80+80S (this is a shorter, one-semester pathway to transfer, but MATH 80+80S is faster-paced and a large time commitment)
• Take MATH 80 without support (this is a shorter, one-semester pathway to transfer, but MATH 80 is more challenging than MATH 45)

Also note that some students may satisfy their statistics requirement by taking PSYC 5 - Psych Statistics or ECON 5 - Introductory Statistics. As these courses are in separate departments, they may have separate placement rules. However, all students who have passed MATH 45, MATH 46 or MATH 60 are eligible for PSYC 5 and ECON 5.

All students who have questions regarding which math class to take are encouraged to speak with their current math instructor (if they have one), the Math Advising Coordinator, or a counselor so that they can make an informed decision.
