[Oacrao-l] Deficiencies part 82

[Armstrong, Pamla R.]

Paul,

We do not allow curricular deficiencies to be remediated by anything
other course than MATH 0214 Intermediate Algebra.  Students are not
allowed to take any college level class until the remediation is taken
care of.

Skills deficiencies are a bit different.  We have a grid which looks at
both ACT and Compass.  If a student scores high enough to take MATH 1413
Survey of Math but not high enough to take MATH 1513 College Algebra, we
will allow enrollment in the 1413 course.  This is usually done by those
with majors not requiring 1513.  However, if the student must take 1513
for their major, they are required to successfully complete 0214 before
they are allowed to enroll in 1513.

Greetings all, I need some advice on deficiencies, please

Say we have a student who scored a 16 on the Math portion of the ACT,
and scored low on the CPT, and is deficient to the point Arithmetic
through Intermediate Algebra are required for  remediation.

Student is pursuing a major that does not require College Algebra.

There's a rumor here that if the student takes the 0-level arithmetic
course and qualifies prerequisite-wise for our MATH 1113 - Math for
General Education course, then the deficiencies should be cleared, and
the 24 hour limit erased.    And the further extension:   that if the
student completes the MATH 1113 - Math for General Education  course,
without having the 0-level Elementary or Intermediate Algebra courses,
then the Math deficiencies are cleared.   This is all based on the
student being in a major that does not require College Algebra.

How would you all look at this at your institution?    I maintain the
deficiency hasn't been met, since the algebra requirement hasn't been
met.

Thanks for your help.

Paul
