Waitlist, Overrides, and Course Evaluations Waitlists are used for almost all of our courses Students can place themselves on the waitlist of multiple sections of the same course Overrides are not typically provided for students who have not satisfied the prerequisites This also holds true for students who want to graduate that semester Course evaluations are completed via an online system https://www.cos.ucf.edu/course-eval/

STEM Majors Precalculus to Calculus Pathway MAT1033, MAC1105, MAC1114, MAC1140, and MAC2311 (Math Placement Test) Calculus III (MAC2313) is now the prerequisite for Ordinary Differential Equations (MAP2302) Courses for Mathematics Majors have been modified

Gordon Rule Mathematics Courses for Non-STEM Majors College Algebra (MAC1105) Digital Media Hospitality Business Explorations in Mathematics (MGF1107)*** Most other non-STEM majors not listed above Finite Mathematics (MGF1106) Best for distance learners

What prior knowledge is expected? MGF1106 and MAC1105 Prerequisite: “C” or higher in MAT1033 or appropriate Math Placement Test score MAC1105-Content builds on prerequisite course or previous coverage for the entire course MGF1106-Content builds on prerequisite course or previous coverage for the majority of the course MGF1107 Open Access -No prerequisite required (Effective summer 2014) Content does not build on prerequisite course (none required) or previous coverage for “most” of the course
