Undergraduate Program

1. How can I sign up for a closed class?

2. How do I know if I need to take the Mathematics Placement Test (MPE)?
If you plan to take MTH 1304 or MTH 1321 at Baylor you must take the MPE.
If you have an SAT 690 or higher or an ACT 33 or higher you are exempt and may enroll in MTH 1321 without taking the MPE.
If you have an SAT 550 or higher or an ACT 24 or higher you are exempt from taking the MPE and may enroll in MTH 1304.
All students with a 600 SAT or 22 ACT are encouraged to take the test and qualify for Calculus I enrollment.

3. How do I sign up for an appointment to take the Mathemathics Placement Test?
Call 710-3562 or email for an appointment Margaret_Salinas@baylor.edu.
During Freshman Orientation the Placement Test is given every Monday through Thursday from 1:45 - 2:45 PM in SR 344.

4. How do I get advised for a Mathematics Major or Minor?
Out advisors are: Dr. Frank Mathis, Dr. Brian Raines, Dr. Ronald Morgan, Dr. Ray Cannon & Dr. Ed Oxford. You may call or email any of these professors for an appointment.

7. What is a degree petition and how is this form used?
A degree petition lets you substitute one class for another in your major field of study. This is not the form you use to transfer a class to Baylor as an equivalent course.
