Math Placement Information
Engineering majors require the Math 2A/B or 3A/B, 4A/B, and 6A/B course series. DO NOT TAKE MATH 34A/B. Please note that not all Math series are offered during FSSP.
- Students who took AP Calculus, IB Math, or A-Level Math should refer to AP, IB, or A-Level Chart.
- Students who have transfer course work should refer to assist.org or a COE advisor: coe-info@engineering.ucsb.edu.
- Students who did not take these exams or did not score high enough for placement into a math course, must take the Math Placement Exam (MPE) online unless they receive a score of 2 on the AP CALC AB test. If you are interested in registering for Math 3A during the summer, you must complete the Math Placement Exam (MPE) prior to completing your online Course Preference Form for FSSP.
If you don't plan to take a math course during FSSP, you must take the MPE BEFORE attending orientation or registering for fall classes.
If you qualify for a math course higher than Math 3A because of AP/IB test scores, previous college experience, or by other means, please note that FSSP advising staff will not be able to register you until your official test scores have been received by UCSB. If you have questions about this, please email fssp@summer.ucsb.edu.
For more information about all Math courses, please refer to the Mathematics Department website.
CMPSC Placement Information
Students who took AP CS A, AP CS Principles, IB Computer Science, or A-Level Computer Science should refer to AP, IB, or A-Level Chart. Please note, CMPSC 16 is not offered during FSSP.
