Co-Req Math

What is a Math Co-Requisite (Co-Req)?

• A math co-requisite (“co-req”) course is paired with a college-level math course allowing students to complete a college-level math course in their first year of college.
• The co-req course complements the college-level course, providing support to strengthen foundational skills in mathematics, review material, boost student confidence and increase student success.

Why Co-Req Math?

• Math co-reqs allow students to “skip” one semester of developmental math and finish college-level math in one year (in many cases, in one semester).
• Linking a co-req and a college-level course allows students to meet with the same instructor and classmates all semester, creating a learning community and a support structure for success. The use of co-req courses has shown that beginning-level math students can succeed in college-level courses with extra support.
• Students move into their major courses or programs more quickly.

Co-Req Math Courses

• MATH 0930 (Essential Skills for Algebraic and Quantitative Reasoning) is paired with MATH 1190 (Algebraic and Quantitative Literacy) to provide supplemental learning activities that support each unit in the college-level class and build a learning community for students to master the material and succeed in MATH 1190.
• MATH 0970 (Essential Skills for Probability and Statistics) is paired with MATH 1410 (Elementary Probability and Statistics I) to offer timely discussions, examples and demonstrations to help engage students and empower them to succeed in MATH 1410.

FAQs

What can I expect in a math co-req class?
You’ll receive just-in-time support to strengthen your math knowledge and skills, boost your confidence, review material and set a course for success.

How do I register?
Look for either MATH 0930 or MATH 0940 and their paired college-level math courses (MATH 1190 for MATH 0930; MATH 1240 for MATH 0940). Register for the pair that best fits your schedule. The college-level course and co-req must be taken together.

Who teaches my co-requisite class?
You will have the same professor for both the co-req and the college-level class.

How am I graded?
Both the co-req and college-level class will use a traditional letter grade.

I am interested in STEM-related programs. Should I take the co-requisite?
Talk with an academic counselor to ensure you are taking the right classes for your program. There are some math classes that do not have a co-req.
