Important Information

Students offering less than 70% in high school Chemistry, Physics and senior-year Mathematics may have to take additional courses. Students should note that two years each of high school Chemistry and Physics will normally be required; students lacking these courses will be considered on an individual basis.

Students intending to enroll in MATH 1003, Introduction to Calculus I, must take a Placement Test which will be administered during Orientation week in September. Materials to prepare for this test are available on the web at http://math.unb.ca/ready as well as from the Mathematics Departments in New Brunswick High Schools and UNB. Based on their test scores, and the regulations set out by the Mathematics Departments, students will be required to take a Pre-Calculus course (Math 0863 UNBF or Math 1863 UNBSJ) or a special section of Math 1003 that covers the material of the course over two semesters, or a regular (one semester) section of Math 1003.
