T – Transfer Course L.D.C.C.. – Locally Developed Compulsory Credit Course Note: The new Advanced Functions course can be taken concurrently with or can precede Calculus and Vectors. This chart maps out all the courses in the discipline and shows the links between courses and the minimum requirements for them. It does not attempt to depict all possible movements from course to course.
