ASU MAT 170: Precalculus

A 3-credit Arizona State University course that high school students in any state can take online. Arizona's other two public universities publish how they count it; here is what they say. Outside Arizona, how it counts depends on each college on the student's list.

University of Arizona
Named course

The University of Arizona counts it as MATH 120R.

Published ruling: MATH 120R

Northern Arizona University
Named course

NAU counts it as MAT 125.

Published ruling: MAT 125; Foundation Requirement [FNRQ]

[FNRQ]

What it costs

ASU charges $25 to start the course and $400 to add it to an official ASU transcript, only with a C or better and only if the family chooses. That is $425 for 3 college credits.

Before you count on it

These rulings come from the AZTransfer course equivalency guide, read October 27, 2026. A ruling is what a university has published, not a promise for a particular student, and rulings change. Confirm with the college's own transfer evaluation, and colleges outside Arizona set their own rules.
