This chart is a reference tool for Student Success Advisors; a course prerequisite waiver from a Student Success Advisor may be needed to enroll in specific courses depending on placement measure completed.
* Students would be eligible to enroll in this course if they complete the math guided self-placement (GSP) survey. A meeting with an advisor is desirable after completing the math GSP, but not required for a student to enroll in this course.
Most math courses will not have course prerequisites. However, MTH 116W will have a MTH 115W course prerequisite. MTH 225 will have a course prerequisite of MTH 208W, MTH 209W, MTH 208AW, or MTH 209AW. Many STEM math pathway courses (MTH 122AW, MTH 121, MTH 161, MTH 162, MTH 260, MTH 261, MTH 263, & MTH 264) will also have course prerequisites. The flowchart below shows these prerequisite courses pictorially.
