Course prerequisites are stated in terms of either Delta courses or math
prerequisite levels (see chart in this section) and are intended to insure
that students choose the appropriate mathematics course. Individuals
may have a mathematics background equivalent to a stated prerequisite
in which case they should consult a counselor/advisor for assistance
in evaluating equivalencies. Any student who feels that circumstances
warrant waiving a prerequisite should consult the Mathematics &
Computer Science Division for approval. (PLEASE NOTE: A math
course which has been successfully completed more than four years
from the start date of the intended class cannot be used to fulfill the
prerequisite. Demonstrated math prerequisite knowledge may be needed
for enrollment in selected math classes.)
