ACC Mathematics Course Prerequisites

In order for a course to satisfy a prerequisite, you must have completed it with a grade of C or better. 

The table below indicates the course prerequisite for each.  The colors indicate the required assessment score to begin your college mathematics experience with that course.  We also have a flow chart with the recommended sequence for various degree plans. 

Purple: Developmental course
TASP: below 230 or
COMPASS:: below 39

Yellow: College-level course
 "passing TASP"

The "two years of high school algebra" means completion of Algebra II in high school with a grade of C or better. Our assumption is that this also includes a year of geometry. In some high schools, some students have the option of taking Algebra I spread over two years, which is called Algebra IA and Algebra IB. Check your high school transcript if you are confused about what you actually completed.
