If you plan to take a course from an Arizona public university, public community college, or tribal community college you can use the Course Equivalency Guide to see how the course will transfer to NAU. You will still want to verify with your NAU academic advisor that the course will work for your specific math progression. If you plan to take a math class at an out-of-state institution you will want to contact your NAU academic advisor for an unofficial evaluation of how the course will transfer to NAU.
