Standard Sequences

(If after reading through this information, you are uncertain, consult your adviser.)

The standard sequence for Business students (Math 110) is the following,
where a student's placement action may allow starting at various
points in this sequence:

Math 3, Math 4, Math 21, Math 22, Math 110.
The standard sequence for Natural Science and Engineering students
(Math 140 and beyond) is the following, where a student's placement action may
allow starting at various points in this sequence:

Math 3, Math 4, Math 21, Math 41*, Math 140, Math 141.

*In place of Math 41, students sometimes take the combination of both

Math 22 and Math 26 together, but switching between these options does

not constitute a drop in sequence.

The standard sequence for Engineering Technology students (Math 83 and
beyond) is the following, where a student's placement action may allow
starting at various points in this sequence:

Math 81, Math 82, Math 83, Math 210, Math 211.
The standard sequence for Elementary Education students is:

Math 30, Math 200.

If you are in one of the courses listed above, then you DO NOT need the Chair’s signature (below) to drop back within one of these sequences.

Attempting to do anything other than going back a step (or two) within a
standard sequence listed above requires the signature of the Chair of
Mathematics and Statistics.
