1.14. Math 100 is not a prerequisite to any U of A course.

Math 100 is not  a prerequisite to any U of A course. Students have to qualify for the "next" course through the Math 100 final exam (knowledge check) by achieving a certain number of topics on the final.   These final exam scores appear on the student's record as MCLG scores.  These are different from PPL scores and have a different range to qualify for the "next course".  You can find the required scores here.  These scores generally expire after 2 years.

Note that some students might place into Math 106/107 at the end of Math 100, but need Math 108/112 next.  Math 106/107 are not prerequisites to Math 108/112.  

Some students need more than one semester to review and need to take Math 100 more than once.  

If a student gets a  low Math 100 placement at the end of the course, like MCLG 10 or 25, then they are far away from the knowledge base required for success in Math 108/112 and should retake Math 100.
