Foundational Math Compatible Courses

Foundational Math Compatible Courses:

Based on your ACT, SAT, or other placement scores, you have been placed into Foundational Math, which is a math
refresher that also teaches self-directed study skills needed to succeed in college-level math. You must take this class
in your first semester unless you have transfer credit or other placement scores that satisfy this requirement. Remember to be kind to your future self – the important thing is to start in the math class you’re ready for. You have the option to take the Math Lobo Course Placement (LCP.unm.edu) if you feel like you’re ready for a more advanced math class.
