- Students whose scores or progression indicate they need MAT 141S or MAT 100 as a corequisite to their math classes and who take online sections of MAT 141 and MAT 150 do not have a lab option. They should be enrolled in an online section without a lab.
- Students who complete MAT 141 or 146 cannot automatically be enrolled in MAT 150. Please use placement scores for enrollment. Most will likely need MAT 150 with MAT 100.
- Students who fail MAT 150 and pass MAT 100 must be reenrolled in MAT 100 along with MAT 150.
