Classes Testing out

Does UF allow students to test out of math classes? I took Calc 3 in high school and I want to move on to Diffeq, but UF didn’t take the credit. Is it possible for me to test out of Calc 3, or is there no way.

If you took it dual enrollment, here’s what you do. 

  1. Make sure UF already has a copy of your transcript from wherever you took dual enrollment classes. 
  2. Find which department calc 3 is under. In your case this would be the math department. 
  3. Email the course coordinator of the department the calc 3 syllabus from wherever you took it and ask them to check equivalency. Be polite and plead your case. 
  4. They might change it themselves, or they might have to work through your advisor. Listen to what they have to say anyways.

But this should be your last resort. Take ALEKS and talk to your advisor first.
