This credit-by-exam program allows incoming Iowa students to earn extra credit in math.

To participate, take the Level 3 Mathematics Placement Test offered at Orientation. A score of 15 or higher will place you in MIP-eligible course work. The MIP also is offered each month through the University's Evaluation and Examination Service.

Here's how it works
If you get a grade of B or higher in the course the MIP places you into, you also get 4 s.h. of credit for the prerequisite course you skipped. The extra credit is ungraded, but it counts toward your hours required for graduation. It is counted as residence credit. MIP credit is not granted for college or college-level course work for which credit has been received.

If you already have AP or CLEP credit in math, duplication or regression must be avoided when you register for MIP-eligible courses. Check with your advisor and the Department of Mathematics to help you choose applicable courses.

You are only eligible for MIP credit during your first or second class registration.
