The Basics

Dodge City Community College is redesigning its mathematics program.  Starting in Fall 2023, everyone can enroll in a math class that counts towards a degree.  All ‘developmental’ math courses are being retired, which means College Prep Math and Intermediate Algebra will not be available starting in Fall 2023.

In general, we encourage students to take the highest level math class for which they are prepared.  Most students, however, will take an introductory math course.  We currently offer two such courses:

  • MATH 101 – Modern College Math
  • MATH 106 – College Algebra

For students who need or would like extra assistance when taking one of these math classes, we are offering a support course that will provide timely help and skill-building exercises as needed.

The support courses are:

MATH 001 – Modern College Math Support Course (pairs with and supports MATH 101)

MATH 006 – College Algebra Support Course (pairs with and supports MATH 106)

The support course will meet for 2 hours each week (in addition to the 3 hours you meet for the main class) and will be graded as Pass/Fail.  The support courses are 0 credit hours and do not cost more than what you are already paying for the main course.

Which Math Class or Classes Should I Take?

The correct math course for you will depend on your level of preparedness and your major or transfer plans.  We have created a placement tool to help you determine which math class is the best option for you:

How to Enroll

www.dc3.edu/enroll

Once you’ve decided which math class or classes to take, you will need to enroll.  Unless you are taking a higher level math class like Trigonometry, Calculus, or Statistics, you have four choices:

  • Enroll in MATH 101 only
  • Enroll in MATH 101 AND MATH 001
  • Enroll in MATH 106 only
  • Enroll in MATH 106 AND MATH 006

If you are enrolling in MATH 101 AND MATH 001:

You must enroll in each of these courses separately.  This means you will search for and add MATH 101 to your schedule and then separately search for and add MATH 001 to your schedule.

  • In general, MATH 101 meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and MATH 001 meets Tuesday and Thursday (though there are exceptions).
  • Any MATH 101 can be paired with any MATH 001.
  • You do NOT have to sign up for the same section number or for a MATH 001 that is offered at the same time of day as your MATH 101.

For example, you can enroll in MATH 101 (section 1001) which meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8:30am to 9:20am and then enroll in MATH 001 (section 1004) that meets 11:30am to 12:20pm Tuesday and Thursday.

If you are enrolling in MATH 106 AND MATH 006:

You must enroll in each of these courses separately.  This means you will search for and add MATH 106 to your schedule and then separately search for and add MATH 006 to your schedule.

  • In general, MATH 106 meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and MATH 006 meets Tuesday and Thursday (though there are exceptions).
  • Any MATH 106 can be paired with any MATH 006.
  • You do NOT have to sign up for the same section number or for a MATH 006 that is offered at the same time of day as your MATH 106.

For example, you can enroll in MATH 106 (section 1001) which meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8:30am to 9:20am and then enroll in MATH 006 (section 1004) that meets 11:00am to 11:50 am Tuesday and Thursday.

Odds and Ends

This section contains some bits and pieces of information which you may find helpful or of interest, but may not be necessary for enrolling in a math class for Fall 2023.

  • Your instructor for MATH 001 and MATH 006 will be different from your instructor for MATH 101 and MATH 106.
  • MATH 101 is all that is required for a student to earn an Associate of General Studies degree at DC3. However, if you are seeking an Associate of Arts or Sciences degree, then you will need to take MATH 106.
  • Because MATH 106 transfers more universally, it is a good choice to keep you moving toward your academic goals as you decide which degree to earn & where to transfer.
  • While MATH 101 does not directly help students prepare for MATH 106, it is recommended as a stepping stone for students who are not quite ready for MATH 106 (even with a corequisite). It is okay to take MATH 101 one semester, and then MATH 106 at a later semester.
