Mathematics Courses Completed in High School |
|
| Courses at Joliet Junior College such as Math 131 (College Algebra) and Math 135 (Trigonometry) and Math 141 (Pre-Calculus) and Math 170 / 171 / 172 (Calculus with Analytic Geometry) are considered college level mathematics courses. Many of these courses are often taught in the high schools of Illinois Junior College District 525. | |
| Students who satisfactorily complete Math 141, Math 150, Math 153 or Math 170 (or higher) as their first math course in a sequence after their high school math courses, and at JJC with a "C" or higher, may petition to receive JJC credit for college level mathematics courses taken in high school. The course(s) will be listed on the transcript. The transcript will not include a letter grade for the course(s) for which credit is granted. A sequence is described as the courses that follow each other; i.e., courses that either serve(s) as a prerequisite or have a prerequisite. | |
| Credit by Performance | |
| 1. | If a student completes Math 150 (Business Calculus), the student can apply to the Mathematics Chairperson to receive four hours of credit for mathematics courses taken in high school. This will be listed on the transcript as Math 131 (College Algebra - 4 semester hours). |
| 2. | If a student completes Math 153 (Finite Mathematics), the student can apply to the Mathematics Chairperson to receive four hours of credit for mathematics courses taken in high school. This will be listed on the transcript as Math 131 (College Algebra - 4 semester hours). |
| 3. | If a student completes Math 141 (Pre-Calculus), the student can apply to the Mathematics Chairperson to receive three hours of credit for mathematics courses taken in high school. This will be listed on the transcript as Math 135 (Trigonometry - 3 semester hours). |
| 4. | If a student completes Math 170 (First Semester Calculus), the student can apply to the Mathematics Chairperson to receive seven hours of credit for mathematics courses taken in high school. These will be listed on the transcript as Math 141 (Pre-Calculus - 4 semester hours) and Math 135 (Trigonometry - 3 semester hours). |
| 5. | If a student completes Math 171 (Second Semester Calculus), the student can apply to the Mathematics Chairperson to receive twelve hours of credit for mathematics courses taken in high school. These will be listed on the transcript as Math 170 (First Semester Calculus - 5 semester hours), Math 141 (Pre-Calculus - 4 semester hours) and Math 135 (Trigonometry - 3 semester hours). |
| 6. | If a student completes Math 172 (Third Semester Calculus), the student can apply to the Mathematics Chairperson to receive sixteen hours of credit for mathematics courses taken in high school. These would be the twelve hours listed in Item 5 above plus Math 171 (Second Semester Calculus - 4 semester hours). |
| Credit by Testing | |
| If a JJC student does not enroll in one of the mathematics courses mentioned above, the student can still receive credit for the following courses. | |
| - Math 131 (College Algebra - 4 semester hours) | |
| - Math 135 (Trigonometry - 3 semester hours) | |
| - Math 141 (Pre-Calculus - 4 semester hours) | |
| - Math 150 (Business Calculus - 4 semester hours) | |
| - Math 153 (Finite Mathematics - 4 semester hours) | |
| - Math 170 (First semester Calculus - 5 semester hours | |
| - Math 171 (Second Semester Calculus - 4 semester hours) | |
| - Math 172 (Third Semester Calculus - 4 semester hours) | |
| To receive credit the student shall complete one or more of the following: |
| a. The appropriate subject matter test under CLEP or AP | |
| b. The appropriate JJC mathematics proficiency examination | |
| Consult the Department Chairperson to initiate this process | |
