How do I know if I need Developmental Math?

You should have been notified of any developmental requirements during Island View Orientation. However, if you are unsure you can check your Student Center. On the right side, under the “Holds” you will see a notation that says Math Remediation Required. Click on the Details link and it will give you further details about the math courses you must complete.

Can I complete the Developmental Mathematics requirement at a community college?

Yes, you can complete your Developmental Mathematics requirement at a California Community College. Please reference the list of approved courses that can satisfy the math requirement (link below).

It is encouraged that students take advantage of summer courses offered through community college. Please note that you will need to submit an official transcript from the institution you have attended. Also, you must pass the course with a “C” or better in order for it to satisfy the Developmental Math requirement.

Does the course I took at the community college transfer to CI?

Most developmental mathematics courses are not CSU transferable. Transferability depends on the course numbering system as the community college determines. It is recommended you check ASSIST.ORG to determine CSU transferability.

If a course is not CSU transferable, the units will not count towards graduation, however, the content may satisfy the Developmental Mathematics requirement.

For example: MATH V03 from Ventura College, is not CSU transferable, but it is an approved course that satisfy the Developmental Mathematics requirement.

Do MATH 94 and MATH 95 count towards graduation?

MATH 94 and MATH 95 do not count toward the baccalaureate degree. However, each course gives the student 5.0 University credits that count towards enrollment and Financial Aid purposes.

Can I take a college level math course to meet Developmental Math?

The Developmental Mathematics requirement can only be satisfied by completing MATH 94 & MATH 95.

For example, you cannot take MATH 105 (Pre-Calculus) to satisfy the Remedial Math requirement.

If you have taken a college-level mathematics course, it will not automatically satisfy the Developmental Mathematics requirement.

I took MATH 94 my first semester but I didn’t pass, what do I do?

You have the following options:

  • Recommended: You can enroll in MATH 94 for your second semester (spring) and take MATH 95 concurrently.
  • You can enroll in MATH 94 for your second semester (spring) at CI and complete a course at the community college during the summer

I took an Early Start course at another CSU, does this satisfy the developmental math requirement?

Early Start courses taken at other CSU’s may meet one or two semesters of the Developmental Math requirement. This information can be found on the CSU Early Start website.

I took an Intermediate Algebra course out of state, does this satisfy developmental math?

Courses taken out of state will need to be reviewed by the Developmental Mathematics Coordinator, Dr. Jorge Garcia.

Students may submit a Petition for Exception form to the Enrollment Center in Sage Hall with their request.
