All candidates for the bachelor of arts or bachelor of science degree are required to demonstrate minimum proficiency in mathematics by satisfying one of the following criteria:
1. Successful completion, with a grade of C or better, of 21&62:640:103 (Mathematics for the Liberal Arts), 112 or 113 College Algebra, or any more advanced course in mathematics offered by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science;
2. Satisfactory performance on a proficiency examination administered by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science;
3. Successful completion, with a grade of C or better, of a college-level, first-semester calculus course equivalent to 21&62:640:135 Calculus I, at another institution, or a grade of B or better in a precalculus course equivalent to 21&62:640:114 or 119.
Students must meet the mathematics proficiency requirement in a timely manner, as follows:
All entering students who have not otherwise satisfied the proficiency requirement before enrolling (#3 above), must either pass the math proficiency exam before the end of the add period of their first semester of enrollment (#2 above), or enroll in the mathematics course prescribed by the placement standards at the college, and continue to enroll each and every semester until the requirement (as described in #1 above) is satisfied.
The mathematics proficiency requirement must be satisfactorily completed before the student achieves senior standing. Students not adhering to these guidelines may be required to carry a reduced credit load and to defer their probable date of graduation.
