4. How do I satisfy R1/R2?
1. Basic Mathematics Skills (R1) and Analytic Reasoning (R2)
The following courses offered by the Department of Mathematics & Statistics satisfy just the R1 requirement for graduation:
- Math 011, 012, 100, 101-102 (must have both), 104, 114, 245, 246, 300, 331.
The following courses offered by the Department of Mathematics & Statistics satisfy both the R1 and R2 requirements for graduation:
- Math 113, 121, 127, 128, 131, 132, 135, 136, 233, 235, 236, 456
- Stat 111, 240, 501, 515, 516.
Note: A continuously updated list of all University courses that satisfy R1 and R2 requirements can be viewed on the registrar’s web page. There are courses in other departments that satisfy just the R2 requirement. Consult your adviser for advice on these.
2. R1 (Basic Mathematics Skills) Exemption Test
The R1 Exemption Test is not the same as the Math Placement Test. The R1 Exemption Test is only a test of basic math skills; nothing else. Passing this test will satisfy the R1 requirement for graduation, but will not result in the awarding of any credits. This test is not offered online. It is administered several times each semester through the Department of Mathematics and Statistics.
3. Mathematics Placement Test
The Math Placement Test is not the same as the R1 Exemption Test and your score on it does not have anything to do with satisfying your R1 or R2 requirement for graduation. The Placement Test is taken by students online before orientation. Your score on the Placement Test is used only as a guide as to where you currently are in your math ability (whether it be arithmetic or on the doorstep of calculus). The Placement Test is administered through the New Students Program.
