About the “With Review” Courses
What is a “With Review” course?
In the past, students who weren’t quite ready for College Algebra or Statistics had to take “remedial” or “developmental” classes that didn’t count toward their degree.
We’ve changed that.
Now, you enroll directly in your required college-level math course “with review”. This model (often called “Corequisite Support”) provides extra support right when you need it, ensuring you stay on track to graduate on time.
Why choose a “With Review” course?
- Save Money: You no longer have to pay for a separate semester of non-credit math.
- Save Time: You earn your college math credit in your very first semester.
- Extra Support: You get more time with your instructor to master difficult concepts and refresh your foundational skills.
- Stay with Your Peers: You stay in the same college-level course as everyone else—you just get a little more “horsepower” to help you finish.
How do I know if I need “With Review”?
Based on your Multiple Placement Measures (GPA, ACT, Accuplacer, etc.), our system or your advisor will recommend the “With Review” version of your path:
- Modern College Math (MATH 101) → Take MATH 104 ( Modern College Math with Review)
- Elementary Statistics (MATH 230) → Take MATH 234 (Elementary Statistics with Review)
- College Algebra (MATH 106) → Take MATH 108 (College Algebra with Review)
- If you are a dual-enrolled high school student, you are not eligible for enrolling in a course with review.
How We Place You
We look at more than just a test score. We consider your High School GPA/math scores, ACT/SAT, QAS Accuplacer, ALEKS PPL, or GED scores.
- High School GPA/math courses: Valid for 2 years after graduation.
