Effective Fall Quarter 2010
After examining years of data it has become clear that the ability of students to understand the varied concepts taught in a mathematics course is closely tied to their ability to understand and recall what was taught in the prerequisite course.
As a result, the following policy with regard to a time limit on math prerequisites applies to all courses taught in the Math department (except MAT 105, 106, and 109) and to DEV 108, which is taught in the Academic Foundations department (ACA):
Students registering for a Math (MAT) course are required to have completed the prerequisite course not more than one calendar year (four consecutive quarters or three consecutive semesters) prior to the quarter for which they are registering.
For example, if a student wants to take MAT 101, Fall quarter 2010, the student must have completed the prerequisite course, DEV 108, no earlier than Fall quarter 2009.
Students whose prerequisites for math courses were completed more than one calendar year ago (four consecutive quarters or three consecutive semesters) should see an Academic Advisor to register for a math course.
Note: the One Year Time Limit on Math Prerequisites policy does NOT apply to courses in other departments that list a mathematics prerequisite.
