Mathematics

     There are no waivers or substitutions given for the math requirement at Southern.  Some students with disabilities have significant difficulty meeting the basic university math requirement due to a math-related disability.  Additionally, these students may have experienced inadequate preparation, lowered expectations by school systems or a combination of these factors. Each semester, in conjunction with the Mathematics Department, the DRC offers supported designated sections of Math 095 (Elementary Algebra), Math 101 (Intermediate Algebra A)  Math 102 (Intermediate Algebra B) and Math 103 (Mathematics for Liberal Arts).  In addition, during alternate semesters, a supported designated section of Math 107 (Elementary Statistics) is offered. These courses have the same content and exit criteria but also have built-in supports.

     Support may include copies of class notes and individual tutoring sessions.  To enroll in a designated math section, students must contact the DRC to discuss their documented math-related disability and sign a contract detailing their responsibilities for the course.  Students in these sections must adhere to the terms of the contract in order to continue in the sequence of supported designated math sections.  Please note that availability of these supported classes is subject to cancelation based on enrollment.

we offer:

  • MAT 095 (Fall/Spring)
  • MAT 102 (Fall/Spring)
  • MAT 103 (Fall/Spring)
  • MAT 107 (Spring only)

*If your disability affects your performance in mathematics courses and you feel that you qualify to be in one of our designated sections, please call our office at (203) 392-6828 to set up an appointment as soon as possible to determine eligibility.
