2012 Fall Semester (PDF) - Los Angeles City College

Science Track Students Qualify for Pre-Calculus in One Semester: Complete 8 week Geometry Math 121 section 0423 followed by 8 week
Trigonometry Math 240 section 0429
ATTENTION, AMBITIOUS STUDENTS
Shorten the time needed to complete the Math requirement for your degree or certificate by starting at Pre-Algebra (Math 112 ) instead of Basic
Math (Math 105). Here are two alternative opportunities for you to make this a reality.
Math Path: (Math007CE) A pre-semester refresher course in basic mathematics designed to provide students with the math skills needed enroll and
succeed in a Pre-Algebra course. Conducted during the two week period just prior to the start of fall semester.
Dual School: At start of semester, student is permitted to enroll in Pre-Algebra (Math112) and Basic Math 007CE concurrently. The Basic Math course
lasts five weeks. If student successfully completes the Basic Math, he/she is permitted to remain in the Math 112 course to finish the semester. If not, the
student is dropped from the Math 112 and placed in a Math 105 course to finish the semester.
• How do I get in?
Go to the College Learning Skills Center and take their Math diagnostic test. Or take the College placement exam. If the placement exam puts
you in Basic Math (Math 105), go to College Learning Skills Center and take their Math diagnostic test. The learning skills staff will analyze the
results of your diagnostic test and let you know whether you have enough fundamental Math knowledge so that you are likely to benefit from this
program. If you get a “go” from Learning Skills you are eligible to participate in either Math Path or Dual School. Go to the Math Department
Office for permit to enroll.
• Why should I get in?
Similar Programs have been instituted at other Colleges, and students who participate have done much better than their peers.
You can save yourself a semester of math and reach your degree or certificate goal in less time. Many students have the capability and ambition
to succeed in these programs even if their placement test scores may not indicate this.
We look forward to working with you.
