-= The Mathematics and AQR Placement Process = 
-This page will get you started on a three step process that will help you determine 
-<ol> 
-<li> if you need to complete the ''Abstract and Quantitative Reasoning'' (AQR) general education requirement, 
-<li> which field of study (mathematics, statistics, or computer science) is the best choice for you to complete the AQR requirement, and 
-<li> which particular mathematics, statistics, or computer science course should be your first one. 
-</ol> 
-If you need assistance with the Mathematics and AQR Placement Process, please contact the Mathematics Placement Director (math-placement@stolaf.edu).+All incoming students should complete the AQR, Mathematics, and Statistics Placement Survey (not a mathematics ''test''). The survey will help you determine if you need to take a mathematics, statistics, or computer science (MSCS) course at St. Olaf, and, if so, which course you should take first. To complete the survey you will need just a few minutes and any AP or IB scores you have in mathematics or statistics. If you have any questions about the survey, please contact the Director of Mathematics Placement at math-placement@stolaf.edu.
-==Step One: What is the AQR requirement and do you need to complete it?==+''If you do not see a survey below, you must first login to your St. Olaf e-mail account. One way to do this is to go to http://www.stolaf.edu and under Quick Links select Email/Gmail. NOTE: Your email must end in @stolaf.edu for the survey to work correctly.''
-An ''Abstract and Quantitative Reasoning'' (AQR) course is part of the College's general education curriculum. All B.A. students must complete the AQR requirement either by taking a designated course in mathematics, statistics, or computer science or through successful completion of an equivalent course prior to arriving at St. Olaf (click [http://www.stolaf.edu/catalog/academiclife/geafteraug08.html here] for more information). B.M. students may choose to complete a general education requirement with an AQR course (click [http://www.stolaf.edu/catalog/academiclife/bmgeafteraug08.html here] for more information).+'''Internet Explorer alert:''' some students have had problems loading the survey from Internet Explorer. Either try a different browser, or when the "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error message appears either go back one page (with the back arrow), or click on "Go back to the previous page" under "What you can try" (make sure that you are signed into your St. Olaf account first).

[edit] Mathematics and Statistics Placement

All incoming students should complete the AQR, Mathematics, and Statistics Placement Survey (not a mathematics test). The survey will help you determine if you need to take a mathematics, statistics, or computer science (MSCS) course at St. Olaf, and, if so, which course you should take first. To complete the survey you will need just a few minutes and any AP or IB scores you have in mathematics or statistics. If you have any questions about the survey, please contact the Director of Mathematics Placement at math-placement@stolaf.edu.

If you do not see a survey below, you must first login to your St. Olaf e-mail account. One way to do this is to go to http://www.stolaf.edu and under Quick Links select Email/Gmail. NOTE: Your email must end in @stolaf.edu for the survey to work correctly.

Internet Explorer alert: some students have had problems loading the survey from Internet Explorer. Either try a different browser, or when the "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error message appears either go back one page (with the back arrow), or click on "Go back to the previous page" under "What you can try" (make sure that you are signed into your St. Olaf account first).
