2 To find developmental mathematics classes, look for DMS Developmental Mathematics Shell in the Subjects. General Information DMA vs. DMS DMA refers to the modules that a student is required to complete as a prerequisite to entering a curriculum math (and some other courses or college programs). The DMA numbers are 010, 020, 030, 040, 050, 060, 070, and 080. DMS refers to the developmental math shell courses that students register in order to complete the DMA modules. Get more information at DMS 001, 002, 003 courses This summer, there will be three developmental math shell courses taught, all are hybrid courses. DMS 001 and DMS 002 will be taught each 5-week mini-session. DMS 003 will be taught for the 10-week session. DMS 001 (1 credit) contains one of the eight DMA modules. DMS 002 (2 credits) contains two of the eight DMA modules. Veterans only DMA 010 through 080, non-hybrid, classes will meet twice a week (MW or TTh) for 4 weeks with a total of 250 minutes per week as they have been taught in the past. Students registering for DMA classes must register with the Veteran s coordinator or designee Registration Information Letters in section numbers are A for 1 st mini-session and Z for 2 nd mini-session. cfcc.edu/mathlab/2014-math-advising.docx Last modified Page 2 of 11

4 shell courses taught each mini-session. DMS 001 (1 credit) contains one of the eight DMA modules. DMS 001 will be taught in two formats either hybrid or internet. (1) The hybrid course of DMS 001 will meet for 75 minutes once a week on Fridays for 8 weeks on the Downtown Campus. (2) The internet course of DMS 001 requires a proctored exam at the end of the course. DMS 002 (2 credits) is a hybrid course, contains two of the eight DMA modules, and meets for 75 minutes twice a week on MW or TTh for 8 weeks. Veterans only DMA 010 through 080, non-hybrid, classes will meet twice a week (MW or TTh) for 4 weeks with a total of 250 minutes per week as they have been taught in the past. Students registering for DMA classes must register with the Veteran s coordinator or designee Registration Information The letter after the course number indicates the semester the course is taught. For example, Fall semester: DMS 001F and DMS 002F; Spring semester: DMS 001G and DMS 002G; and Summer term: DMS 001 and DMS 002 (no letter). Letters in section numbers are A for 1 st mini-session and Z for 2 nd mini-session. Students who need only one DMA should register for a DMS 001 course (either hybrid or internet; see General Information above). Students who need two DMAs should register for a DMS 002 course. Students who need three DMAs should register for DMS 002 (1 st mini-session) and DMS 001 (2 nd mini-session).

5 002 (1 st mini-session and 2 nd mini-session) Additional Information Instruction & Assistance: Instructors will present information to the class relative to study hints, note and test taking, and a pacing guide to help students complete the course as scheduled. Instructors will help individual students with computer assignments and/or paper and pencil work as needed or requested by the student in class. Students may be able to complete extra DMAs if they work hard and manage their time well Curriculum Mathematics Courses MAT 110, 121, 143, 152, 171 Fall 2014 New & Archived Math Courses To access Fourth Math Requirement, click here. Starting Fall 2014 semester, CFCC will teach three new math courses MAT 110, MAT 143*, and MAT 152*. For the academic year, we will teach out the math courses that are being archived. Effective Fall 2015 semester, the following courses that we teach will be archived: MAT 101, MAT 102, MAT 115, MAT 120, MAT 140, MAT 155, and MAT 175. Beginning Fall 2014 semester, current students may register for the old or the new math courses.
