MPE Dates

The Math Placement Exam (MPE) determines students' official math placement. The MPE is a proctored exam, either on campus (free) or remotely (for $20 on ProctorU).  Students should take this exam seriously as it will determine their starting course in the Math Pathway required by their major and/or college.  

All students must register in advance for a testing session. 

MPE-Retake Policy

Through April 30, students may retake the MPE after 30 days have elapsed (which is strictly enforced). However, students should enroll in the course that they are placed into (or have advanced to) without delay and not engage in MPE retakes.

Starting May 1, 2026, MPE retakes will NOT be allowed as per the revised MPE-retake policy, and students must enroll in the course that they are placed into.  Advancement will occur by completing successive courses in the established Math Pathway determined by their major and/or college. 

MPE results are valid for one year.  Students who do not enroll in their placed course must retake the MPE if they have not yet enrolled in math and their results have expired to earn a new math placement. 

Students with Math 2 placement are on the Place-Up Pathway (PUP) and need take (and pass) the Math 2-to-3B Place-up Exam (PUP-E) to move forward in Math. Retaking the MPE is not allowed. See PUP-Exam for more information.
