The University of Oregon does have math remediation. They have three levels of math remediation, in fact. Students with SATM of 460 or below go to Elementary Algebra; SATM 470-540 go to Intermediate Algebra; 550 or above go to College Algebra. Students with a 550+ SATM are permitted to take a placement test, to place into calculus.

But as Sylvan says, by the time the student gets to calculus or physics, they need to have already been remediated.
