CCNY Math Placement
The CCNY Math Placement test (CCNY MPT) helps CCNY determine which math course is the best fit for your current skills and academic program. It does not affect whether you are admitted to the college.
If you are an incoming first-year student who has met the CUNY's math proficiency requirement, CCNY may require you to take the in-person CCNY Math Placement Test (CCNY MPT).
Transfer students are generally not required to take the CCNY Math Placement Test. Your next math course is determined based on your previously completed coursework, as evaluated by the Undergraduate Transfer Evaluation Services in the Office of Admissions.
If you are a transfer student and are unsure of your mathematics placement or have questions about course registration, please contact your academic advisor. Your advisor can review your evaluated transfer credits and help you determine the appropriate mathematics course based on your academic program.
The CCNY Math Placement Test determine the mathematics course(s) for which you are eligible to register based on your major requirements and any major-specific entry criteria.
