[Oacrao-l] Deficiencies part 82

[Zoe DuRant]

At Cameron, we do not clear the math deficiency until the appropriate zero classes are taken and completed with a C or better.  If the student's major requires MATH 1513 then their ACT or CPT score has to be high enough to take it.  If same student scores only high enough to take MATH 1813 then they may take this course but they would still need to take MATH 0213 before taking College Algebra (MATH 1513) - their deficiency would not be cleared.
Hope that makes sense!

Subject: [Oacrao-l] Deficiencies part 82

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
