The South Dakota Board of Regents has developed a standardized placement process for placement into math courses.

South Dakota Board of Regents

Students have several options for placing into the most advanced level first mathematics or statistics class where you have a good chance of succeeding. Please see the Math Department for more information about placement.

Entering students without a current high school GPA (less than 5 years old) will be placed into math courses based upon their College Board ACCUPLACER score. For these students, there is no charge to take the ACCUPLACER the first time.

Students may challenge their placement by taking the ACCUPLACER up to two times. It should be noted that the South Dakota BOR branching packages may be different than other states, so it is in your best interest to wait until you can take the exam at the ³ÉÈËÊÓƵ Testing Center or use a voucher issued from the ³ÉÈËÊÓƵ Testing Center to ensure you are taking the appropriate SDBOR branching packages required. Check out the .

Need MATH 123 - Calculus I?

To place into MATH 123, you must have a Math Index of 1300 or higher and score 16 or higher on the ACCUPLACER SD Calculus Readiness exam. Get more information on MATH 123 placement.

CLEP Exams

If you have strong math skills, consider taking a CLEP exam to establish proficiency in any of these courses. Successful completion of the CLEP College Mathematics qualifies for MATH 103 credit, College Algebra examination qualifies for MATH 114 credit, the CLEP Pre-Calculus examination qualifies for MATH 115 credit and the CLEP Calculus I examination qualifies for MATH 123 credit. Make sure to confirm with your adviser that a CLEP exam is appropriate for your major before taking the exam. Get more information about CLEP.
