The Math Learning Center, is located in the Johnson Center, Room 344. We offer two programs designed to prepare students for their required math courses. The Basic Math Program refreshes skills needed for success in Math 106, Math 110. The Algebra Program prepares students for Math 105, Math 108, or Math 125 and is offered in an online environment. Program descriptions are listed below.
For schedule of classes and registration procedures click here .
After enrolling in one of the programs, Math 008 or Math 006 should appear on your Blackboard Course List. (go to http://mymason.gmu.edu). Once you have the course on your blackboard you can start working on the program right away. You have up to one year to complete the program.
Upon passing the program students are permitted to take the appropriate course. Alternatively, students must pass the Mathematics Placement Test to register for these courses. For more information, see Mathematics Placement Test. Students will not receive college credit for this program.
