	What math classes are offered at Citrus College?	1	Review the Citrus College Catalog list of mathematics courses offered, and the content within this website regarding mathematics.
	When should I take math at Citrus College?	2	Students are strongly encouraged to take mathematics in their first year at Citrus College. Please review the Citrus College Catalog list of mathematics courses offered. Students are also encouraged to review the mathematics information within this website. If it is unclear as to which math class(es) should be taken, meet with a counselor who will help determine the best option.
	Can I test out of taking a corequisite math class?	3	Students are strongly encouraged to take a math class with corequisite support. However, if a student believes they have sufficient preparation for a transfer-level math class, they can challenge the corequisite.
	Can I just take a transfer-level math class that is paired with a corequisite?	4	No. Transfer-level math classes offered with a corequisite are hard-linked and scheduled adjacent to each other. Students cannot enroll in a transfer-level math class separately, if it is paired with a corequisite. Citrus College does offer stand-alone transfer-level math classes. For instance, a student can take, for example, Math 165 Introductory Statistics without corequisite support, if their prerequisites or multiple-measures placement allows this. The mathematics organizational chart located on this main placement webpage will be helpful in making a proper course determination.
	Can I take a math class with a corequisite even if I placed directly into the transfer-level math class?	5	Yes. Citrus College offers three transfer-level math classes with corequisite support: Math 065/165 (Introductory Statistics with Corequisite Support), Math 075/175 (Precalculus with Corequisite Support), and Math 080/180 (Calculus for Business and Social Sciences with Corequisite Support) These courses are open access to all students. If a student is more comfortable taking the extra two units of support (algebra review), the student is welcome to take the transfer-level class with the corequisite support class.
	What is the difference between Math 165 Introductory Statistics and Math 165 Introductory Statistics with Corequisite Support?	6	Math 165 Introductory Statistics is a four-unit transfer-level class, transferrable to the UCs, CSUs, and many private universities. Math 165 Introductory Statistics with Corequisite Support is two classes/CRNs: the four-unit transfer-level Math 165 Introductory Statistics class and a two-unit Math 065 Corequisite Support class, which is basic skills (the corequisite support class is graded pass/no pass). These two classes are linked so students must add both CRNs (course registration numbers) to their schedule. The classes are scheduled sequentially (next to each other).
	What is the difference between Math 175 and Math 175 with Corequisite Support?	7	Math 175 Precalculus is a six-unit transfer-level class, transferrable to the UCs, CSUs, and many private universities. Math 175 Precalculus with Corequisite Support is two classes/CRNs: the six-unit transfer-level Math 175 Precalculus class and a two-unit Math 075 Corequisite Support class, which is basic skills (the corequisite support class is graded pass/no pass). These two classes are linked so students must add both CRNs (course registration numbers) to their schedule. The classes are scheduled sequentially (next to each other).
	What is the difference between Math 180 and Math 180 with Corequisite Support?	8	Math 180 Calculus for Business and Social Sciences is a four-unit transfer-level class, transferrable to the UCs, CSUs, and many private universities. Math 180 Calculus for Business and Social Sciences with Corequisite Support is two classes/CRNs: the four-unit transfer-level Math 180 Calculus for Business and Social Sciences class and a two-unit Math 080 Corequisite Support class, which is basic skills (the corequisite support class is graded pass/no pass). These two classes are linked so students must add both CRNs (course registration numbers) to their schedule. The classes are scheduled sequentially (next to each other).
	Is there a placement test for math?	9	No. All students receive multiple measures placement information which is emailed in a welcome letter. If a student is unclear to which math class should be taken, meeting with a counselor will assist in determining the best option for math.
