Developmental Mathematics Courses

Developmental Mathematics Courses

Students who enter college with inadequate academic preparation must take developmental mathematics. All developmental mathematics courses (except MA 025 Accelerated Algebra) have a laboratory component. Tutoring is provided in the mathematics laboratory located in the CTC Building.

Students who place into developmental mathematics are required to register for that course in their first semester. Once started, the developmental math sequence must be completed in consecutive semesters. Students enrolled solely in Developmental Education, Developmental Education-paired, ELS, ELS-paired, COL 103, career certificates or short term certificate of achievement programs that do not have mathematics courses in their curriculum, are not required but are encouraged to begin their developmental math courses in conjunctions with these classes. Further exemptions can be granted by the chairperson of students’ degree program.

Developmental Mathematics Courses:
Both computational and algebra courses are offered. Students must successfully complete the course requirements with a grade of “C” or higher in order to proceed to the next course. The courses are:

Computational Level

• MA 010A Basic Mathematics A
• MA 010B Basic Mathematics B
