Mathematics Policy

A student must be continuously enrolled in mathematics until the GEC requirement for mathematics is satisfied according to the student's chosen program of study.

A student may withdraw from mathematics (MATH 098 or GEC requirement) a total of one time only. The student must then enroll in mathematics the following semester and remain enrolled until successfully completing the course (without withdrawing again). Once this one-time drop is used for either MATH 098 or a GEC mathematics course, the student may not drop any additional required GEC mathematics course (including MATH 098).

Students are placed into either MATH 098 or a GEC mathematics course based on their ACT sub score in mathematics and/or their score on the Cumberland University Mathematics Placement Test (available through the Testing Center on campus). Please see the individual course descriptions for additional placement information.
