Redesigned course sequence 2+ level below the transfer level 1 level below the transfer level (co-requisite) College Math Track (not algebra intensive) MATH 75 (3 credits) With the opportunity to earn MATH 100 credit in the same semester MATH 100 with MATH 78 (4 credits total) MATH 115 with 78 was also offered on a small scale (n < 20) College Algebra Track MATH 82 (4 credits) MATH 103 with MATH 88 companion (5 credits total)

Legacy baselines Starting 2+ levels below the transfer level in the fall Starting 1 level below the transfer level in the fall 27% sequentially passed MATH 22 and MATH 82 to become college-ready by the end of the AY* 56% passed MATH 82 to become college-ready at the end of the fall semester 9.7% earned a C or better in transfer math by the following spring (next AY) 29% earned a C or better in a transfer math by the following spring (next AY)
