The Department of Mathematical Sciences wants to ensure all students enrolling in Math 241 – Geometry and Calculus A, have the prerequisite precalculus and trigonometry skills needed to succeed. If your math placement exam score is Level IV or V, this indicates some gaps in your background. The Calculus Preparatory Program (CPP) provides an opportunity for you to review these skills so you can enroll in Math 241. The CPP is an online assessment and learning program of Precalculus and Trigonometry skills. It is coordinated by the Department of Mathematical Sciences and the ALEKS® Corporation. The cost is $30 for six-week access.
Only those students with Math Placement Levels IV or V can use this program to fulfill the enrollment requirements for Math 241.
Keep in mind that this program only reviews these skills - it will not teach you the material. If you are not familiar with the topics in this program, you may want to enroll in Math 117.
NOTE: When registerig for the program, you must use the updated course code: QAHCL-QT4RY. You must use your University of Delaware email address and your University of Delaware Student ID for registration. Failure to do so may mean your results will not be accessible to our program personnel and/or your record cannot be updated!
