MA 108: MA 107 and MA 108 together can act as the prerequisite for MA 141. If you have a student who took MA 107 or something equivalent (like MAT 171 at an NC community college) and needs to take MA 141, they can enroll in MA 108 this spring to complete the precalc prerequisite for MA 141. Alternatively, they can take the math placement test through ALEKS to see if they can place into MA 141 directly with a score of 76 or above.
Enrollment Help: Students who are unable to enroll in math courses because of prerequisite issues can request help at the form linked below. If classes have reserved or restricted seats, students should first attempt to add themselves to the waitlist, if possible.

Math Placement: Information on our math placement assessment can be found at https://math.sciences.ncsu.edu/mathplacement/. Students should be encouraged to use the included learning modules to improve their score and placement. They can retake the assessment up to 4 times.
Prerequisites: The math department does not enforce prerequisites on MA 103, 105, 107, 111, or 114. Students who need MA 121 or MA 131 but do not meet the prerequisite should enroll in MA 107. Students who need MA 141 but do not meet the prerequisite should enroll in MA 108 (if they have MA 107 credit) or MA 111.
MA 131 to MA 241 pathway: The math department is continuing our pilot of a 1-credit corequisite course for students whose academic plans might have changed. We will be offering this Calculus II Bridge Course again this spring, so please let students in this situation know about this option. More details are included in the attached pdf. Feel free to distribute the info to advisees as needed. For help enrolling, students should add MA 493-601 and the desired section(s) of MA 241 to their shopping cart and fill out the info requested at go.ncsu.edu/MathEnrollment.
