What you should know about math:

• You can take each math assessment test twice a semester. Once you begin a math class, and remain in the class and receive a "W" or letter grade, you may not reassess to advance levels.
• Get started on your math EARLY! Because different majors may require specific math courses, it is important that you talk with a counselor before you register for a math class.
• At least one transferable math class is required for admissions to a four-year college or university.
