Additional Information
The Transfer Math Sequence you choose will depend on your major and your transfer destination. See a counselor for more information.
Multiple measures, including high school transcripts, are now being used to help determine proper placement of students into Mathematics courses. Students transferring to College of San Mateo with credit in college Mathematics can use their transcripts to assist with placement.
Prerequisites are listed in the descriptions of Mathematics courses in the catalog and the web schedule. Unless otherwise indicated, a grade of C or higher is required for all prerequisite courses. Prerequisites may be met by showing proof of satisfactory completion of an equivalent course at a post-secondary institution.
Minimum Grade for Prerequisites
