If you reach* a goal score of 80 before the semester starts
Take MTH 111 calculus (4 credits; letter grade) with optional lab course (MTH 105L - 1 credit pass/fail).
If your score is between 30 and 80 at the start of the semester
If your score is between 30 and 80 at the start of the semester
Work in the learning modules of ALEKS PPL and review precalculus topics. Take MTH 111 calculus (4 credits; letter grade) with strongly recommended lab course (MTH 105L - 1 credit pass/fail).
If your score is below 30 at the start of the semester
If your score is below 30 at the start of the semester
[FALL ONLY, invitation only] One year pathway MTH 106: Fall MTH 106 calculus part 1 (3 credit; letter grade) + Spring MTH 111** calculus part 2 (4 credits; letter grade). If you received an invitation for MTH 106, submit a "prerequisite override request" in WorkDay to enroll in MTH 106.
*If you have not quite reached the qualifying score by the start of the semester, you can still stay enrolled in MTH 111. The score of 80 indicates good preparation for calculus. Every MTH 111 student is eligible to sign up for MTH 105L.
**there is a designated section of MTH 111 in the spring for students coming from MTH 106.
MTH 106 is a 3-credit hour course that integrates calculus with pre-calculus (letter grade). It meets three times a week for 50 minutes.
MTH 105L lab course is a 1-credit hour pass/fail lab that supports your understanding of calculus by reinforcing pre-calculus concepts. It cannot be taken without MTH 111.
FAQ
FAQ
Q: When can I start ALEKS PPL? A: Start NOW!
Q: I am waiting for an AP calc test score. Should I take ALEKS? A: Please wait until you get your AP score before taking ALEKS (even if you get your AP score after the ALEKS deadline). If you get a qualifying score and plan to use it for MTH 111 credit, then do not take an ALEKS assessment.
Q: How will I be notified? A: Depending on your score we may notify you over email about extra supports for MTH 111.
Q: If I don't earn an 80 by the start of the semester, can I still stay enrolled in MTH 111? A: Yes.
Q: How many chances do I have on ALEKS assessments? A: You may take up to 3 assessments.
Q: I don't know which math class I should take at WFU. Will my ALEKS score determine this? A: Not really. Talk with an academic advisor to see if you should take MTH 111 or something else. It all depends on what major you are aiming for. undergraduateadvising@wfu.edu We do use ALEKS scores to invite some students to MTH 106.
Q: Where are the learning modules? A: They are within ALEKS PPL. After you take your first assessment in ALEKS PPL, it will provide you with learning modules customized to what you got wrong on the assessment.
Q: Is MTH 105L a prerequisite for MTH 111? A: No. MTH 105L is a lab that you take at the same time as MTH 111.
Q: I need help with registering for MTH 111 and/or MTH 105L. A: Contact registrar@wfu.edu and/or undergraduateadvising@wfu.edu
