Mathematics Program Courses

Notes:

• Students whose ACT mathematics scores fall below 19 will be assigned to a developmental mathematics course.
• Students must receive a grade of "C" or above to satisfy the prerequisite for a mathematics course.
• Students receiving a grade of "C" or above in any mathematics course will not be permitted to enroll for credit in any course which is a prerequisite.
• Students who wish to enroll more than three times in a specific mathematics course other than MATH 0143, Introduction to Algebra, must repeat the prerequisite for the course. Exceptions to this must be approved by the Mathematics Review Committee.
