All Livingston College students must demonstrate proficiency in the
basic skills sequences in reading, writing, and mathematics. Through
testing, students are placed at the appropriate level in each sequence
of courses or are exempted from one or both of the basic skills
sequences. Students exempted from the English sequence may be placed
immediately in 01:355:101 Expository Writing I. Students exempted from
the mathematics sequence may be placed directly into a course that
meets the Analytical/ Quantitative Skills Core Distribution
Requirement. The basic skills sequences are as follows:
English
01:355:098 Composition Skills
01:355:100 Basic Composition
Mathematics
01:640:001 Computation Skills
01:640:025 Elementary Algebra
01:640:026 Intermediate Algebra or 01:640: 027 Elements of Algebra
Students are expected to begin with the course in which they are placed
their first term and to continue during consecutive terms through each
required basic skills sequence. English courses may be taken only at
Rutgers-New Brunswick; mathematics courses may be taken outside of
Rutgers in summer or winter sessions, with permission of the dean.
