Is there a math placement test at UMD?
Placement is done through students’ mathematics scores on the ACT test. If a student truly believes that he/she is placing incorrectly, you can contact Carmen Latterell at clattere@d.umn.edu. However, the mathematics professors have done considerable research on how to correctly place students, and really believe that ACT mathematics scores do the best possible job. Students are strongly advised to follow their recommended placement.
