Please read the attached information to find out<br>more about the format of these courses. Feel free to distribute the Math 100AX<br>and 100 FAQ documents to students. We will also have copies available at orientation<br>Math advising in the Ventana room, 11-1. <br><br>We are going green this summer and greatly reducing the number of handouts<br>given to students. All the information students need can be accessed<br>through the Math Placement link of the Next Steps Center, which is also<br>included in the Quick Guide to Placement. Students can find out about <br>retesting, review, ProctorU testing, transfer credit, and other great <br>information(math.arizona.edu/placement/freshman).<br><br>If a student tests prior to arriving at orientation, the score will be processed<br>in time to add appropriate math courses to the student's schedule at orientation.<br><br>We have many dynamically dated courses that do not start on the first day of class, or<br>that end early. These courses include Math 122A, 122B, 100AX, 100, and 111. Students<br>need to check the start and end dates in UAccess. <br><br>The Schedule for Success presentation is also attached. Please review this<br>before orientation. There are some minor changes to the program. In short:<br>- Students are enrolled in both Math 100AX and SAS 100AX (same as last year). <br>- SAS 100AX is the first 7 weeks of the semester. Students will do many things<br>in this class, including getting introduced to ALEKS, work in ALEKS, and start<br>using the technology required for Math 100AX. Students will take an ALEKS assessment<br>around the 6th week of this class to determine if the student will remain in Math 100AX<br>or switch up to Math 100.<br>- Math 100AX starts October 14 and will be similar in format to last year. <br>- We will have special sections of Math 100 that will start October 14 <br> for Schedule for Success students who are able to switch up.
