Course Offerings
In past years, the Math Readiness Course has been offered both as a summer course and an evening course during regular session in Term 1 (September-December) and Term 2 (January-April), provided a sufficient number of students register.
Summer course
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics has not yet confirmed that Math Readiness will be offered this summer (August 2012). If it is offered, it will likely be held August 20-31, Monday-Friday. If you are looking for a credit course with similar content, please see below ("New! Credit Course").
Evening course
Please note that Math Readiness is a cost-recovery course. In general, we usually need to have a minimum number of students registered in order to run the course.
Term 1: TBA
Term 2: TBA
Online Math Readiness
To register for access to Online Math Readiness (a self-directed online resource containing course materials and interactive exercises), please visit the following page and complete the registration form: Online Math Readiness.
Online Math Readiness is currently available at no charge. For further information or to request an account as a non-university student, please email ulc_onlinemath@usask.ca.
New! Credit course option
For those who are interested in taking a course that reviews concepts from high school math for credit, please check PAWS for "Math 102." Currently, Math 102 is on the slate of offerings for Term 2 of Spring and Summer Session 2012 (i.e. June 28-August 17). Contact the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at 966-6081 or by email at math@math.usask.ca . Please note that a credit course means that there will be an official grade issued on your transcript, and that an academic advisor should be consulted to see how the course will align with your degree program requirements.
