Failure to pass the math portion of the TASP exam and completion of all developmental math courses from the point of original placement through Math 0310

This is an individualized laboratory course designed to review the 10 mathematical skills that are covered on the TASP exam. Included are topics covered in prealgebra (fundamental mathematics), basic algebra and geometry. Instruction focuses on individual needs.

This course carries institutional credit but will not transfer and will not be used to meet degree requirements, nor is at an alternative for the MATH 0306 Prealgebra Mathematics, MATH 0308 Introductory Algebra or MATH 0310 Intermediate Algebra.
