Prerequisite(s): MATH 0314 (P) requires either that a student has passed or MATH 0332   (P) or MATH 0432   (P) with a “C” or better; OR TSIA MATH Score 910-949 and DMATH: 5’ OR an equivalent score on a Placement Exam. 

 
Corequisite(s): This course (MATH 0314) is a corequisite support course for MATH 1314  .  Students should be aware that sections of these courses are LINKED. Therefore, developmental math students who enroll in Math 0314 must also enroll in the linked section of Math 1314 (in the same semester).

Developmental students must maintain satisfactory attendance in BOTH MATH 0314 and MATH 1314.  If a developmental student withdraws or drops from one course in the corequisite pair, then that student is responsible for dropping the paired course; the Developmental Math Department is not responsible for the grade received if the student does not drop the paired course. 

Corequisite courses must be taken during the same semester.
