1. If the student does not meet the requirements for College Algebra for their first semester, general studies pathway is recommended with a focus on getting taking College Algebra and Trigonometry as soon as possible.
2. It is recommended that the student take College Algebra their first semester, even if they completed the full algebra series in high school (if the student has already taken a college level College Algebra course - i.e. dual enrollment while in high school, then Statistics can be taken in their first semester instead).
3. The student should choose either the Chemistry or Biology sequence for their first year. If it is unsure what would be the best choice, contact science or math faculty.
