Frequently Asked Questions

Does everyone need to take the Math Placement Assessment (MPA)?

All students are required to take the MPA by the June deadline unless you received a score of 5 on the AP Calculus AB or BC exam, or received credit for any UD MATH course other than 010, 166, and 266. The test and any remediation should be completed by the June deadline. You will have the opportunity to take it more than once to improve your score, but it is imperative to take it before the June deadline at least once so that we can get you into the correct math course as soon as possible.

What is the Honors Calculus Placement Exam and how do I know if I should take it?

Honors students interested in taking Honors MATH 242 should take the Honors Calculus Placement Exam. In addition to completing the test, students need to have earned credit for MATH 241 and/or MATH 242 to be eligible for Honors Calculus.

My Honors Virtual Advisement is not until mid-July. Will I still be able to get the classes I need for my major?

Yes! The Honors staff works hard to ensure class availability is distributed among all appointment dates. You’ll have the same opportunities to build your schedule no matter when your advisement appointment is. 

I received registration information from my academic college. Should I complete their forms or worksheets provided by Honors?

It is important to read all information provided by UD offices with regard to NSO and academic registration.  Your academic college may have additional information to share with you. For Honors, your forms were emailed to you in late May and can be found here.

My senior year AP Scores won’t be available until late July. How will that affect my registration?

In the Honor Pre-Advisement Form, we ask you to report any known AP scores and to estimate scores from this year’s exams. Once your official scores are received we can adjust your fall schedule if needed. Please note: to get credit for any AP tests, scores must be sent officially from College Board to UD using this code: 5811.

When will my schedule be finalized?

The Honors staff will ensure all Honors students get a schedule in the fall that fulfills major requirements and Honors expectations. The sections and timing of your courses may change as we accommodate all interests and learn about your AP/IB/dual credit results. Your schedule will be “final” on August 1st. This means we won’t make any further changes without discussing them with you first. First year students will have access to change your schedules after this date but we strongly encourage you to talk to us first before attempting any changes. Stay in touch with us throughout the summer with any questions or concerns.
