0310 FOUNDATIONS OF COLLEGE WRITING An introduction to the skills needed in college-level writing. Entering students with an ACT score below 19 in English are required to register for this course during their first enrollment period and during each subsequent enrollment period until they complete the developmental requirement. In the writing co-requisite, a grade of C or better in the college-level course or a grade of C or better in the UNIV course signifies completion of the developmental requirement. The grade in this course is not used to compute semester or cumulative grade point averages. The course does not count toward any degree program.

0360 FOUNDATIONS OF QUANTITATIVE LITERACY Students will learn and review basic mathematical concepts needed to succeed in Quantitative Literacy. Concepts covered will include solving linear equations, percents and decimals, and using a graphing calculator. This course is required for students with an ACT Mathematics sub-score of 18 or below (or the equivalent). Students must be enrolled in MATH 1360 (Quantitative Literacy) to enroll in UNIV 0360. A grade of D or better in the college-level course signifies completion of the developmental requirement. The course does not count toward degree requirements and will not be used to compute semester and cumulative grade point averages.

0370 FOUNDATIONS OF COLLEGE LITERACY An introduction to the strategies needed in college-level reading and writing. Entering students with an ACT sub-score below 19 (or equivalent placement score) in Reading or an ACT sub-score below 16 (or equivalent) in English are required to register for this course during their first enrollment period and during each subsequent enrollment period until they complete the developmental requirement. In the literacy co-requisite courses, a grade of D or better in the college-level course or a grade of C or better in the UNIV course signifies completion of the developmental requirement. The grade in this course is not used to compute semester or cumulative grade point averages. The course does not count toward any degree program.

0390 FOUNDATIONS OF COLLEGE ALGEBRA Students will learn and review basic mathematical concepts needed to succeed in College Algebra. Concepts covered will include graphing, functions, linear equations and inequalities, quadratic equations, operations with real numbers, polynomials, rational functions, and radical functions. This course is open to any student while enrolled in MATH 1390 but required for students with ACT Mathematics subscore of 18 and below or the equivalent. Students must be enrolled in MATH 1390 (College Algebra) to enroll in UNIV 0390. A grade of D or better in the college-level course signifies completion of the developmental requirement. This course does not count toward degree requirements and will not be used to compute semester or cumulative grade point averages.

1340 INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA This course introduces students to fundamental processes: functions, graphing, linear equations and inequalities, quadratic equations, factoring, operations with real numbers, polynomials, rational expressions, and radicals. Lecture and activity based instruction. Entering students with an ACT score below 19 in Math are required to register for this course or a UNIV 1330 Beginning Algebra course during their first enrollment period and must enroll in UNIV 1340 during each subsequent enrollment period until they earn a course grade of C or higher. Students may have only three total attempts to complete their remediation requirements in Math. The grade in this course will not be used to compute semester and cumulative grade point averages.  The course does not count toward any degree.
