Before you enroll in
a math course, please see a Counselor to discuss the most
appropriate math sequence for your educational goal and major.
Students who wish to take a math course lower than the level recommended may do so without approval
of the math department. Students who have completed math
courses in high school or another college and want to take a
course that is higher than their course recommendation
should take the steps as follows:
- Obtain a Prerequisite Course Evaluation
Form from the Schedule of Classes or Admissions Office.
- Attach an official transcript or copy to the form.
- Submit to the Admissions and Records Office. Students
may also see the Math Placement Advisor regarding course placement
in high level courses such as pre-calculus and first semester
calculus.
