Courses

Beginning Fall 2019 we began offering placement into transfer-level math courses.  Math 100 was created, and support courses were created for statistics, trigonometry, and college algebra.  Support courses have a course number that is followed by an X for extra support.  

Please see our noncredit math class information as well.  Content for Math 058, 060, and 070 was converted into 19 short classes through our noncredit program.

Noncredit Math Classes (free)

Beginning Fall 2022 we stopped offering below transfer level math classes.  Topics from Math 058 (Algebra Preparation) through Math 070 (Intermediate Algebra) classes are now offered through our noncredit program in modules that take approximately 10 hours each to complete.  (some less, some more)

You may complete these noncredit classes during the Winter or Summer to help prepare you for a Fall or Spring math class, or you may complete these concurrently with your math classes in Fall or Spring. 

You may complete these in any order.   You pick what you need.  

NC.MATH-001:  Whole Numbers
NC.MATH-002: Fractions and Mixed Numbers
NC.MATH-003: Decimal Numbers 
NC.MATH-004:   Percentages
NC.MATH-005: Rates and Proportions
NC.MATH-006: Signed Numbers 
NC.MATH-007: Algebraic Expressions
