If you have met the prerequisites for your class in some other way, then you may email the Office of Academic Affairs with your name, Gnumber, and the course you want an override for. You will also need to explain why you qualify for an override and provide documentation, such as AP scores, transcripts from other institutions, etc. Overrides are only given for people who meet the prerequisites in another way, not simply because you don’t think you should have to take the placement test.
Contact for an override: Office of Academic Affairs (mkaa@gmu.edu).
If you have a score of 5, 6, or 7 on Higher Learning Mathematics you will receive credit for Math 110 and Math 113. Please contact the Office of Academic Affairs if you would like an override to either retake those classes or register for Math 114.
If you have a score of 4 on the Higher Learning Mathematics, you will receive credit for Math 110 and Math 123. Please contact the Office of Academic Affairs if you would like an override to either retake those classes or register for Math 124 or Math 113.
If you have a score of 5, 6 or 7 on the Standard Learning Mathematics you will receive credit for Math 108. Please contact the Office of Academic Affairs if you would like an override for Math 105. Credit for Math 108 will not allow you to take Math 113. You will either need a passing score in Math 105 or on the Math Placement Test.
Contact for an override: Office of Academic Affairs (mkaa@gmu.edu).
If you have a score of 4 or 5 on the AP Calculus BC, you will receive credit for Math 113 and 114 and do not need to take the placement test.
If you have a score of 4 or 5 on the AP Calculus AB, you will receive credit for Math 113. Please contact the Office of Academic Affairs if you would like an override to retake Math 113 or register for Math 114.
If you have a score of 3 on the AP Calculus AB, you will receive credit for Math 123 and can register for Math 124. Together these classes are equivalent to taking Math 113. You may also use this score for prerequisite if you wish to retake Math 113. Please contact the Office of Academic Affairs if you would like an override for Math 113.
