When you look at my transcript for all the classes I’ve taken since starting college you notice a general trend; all the classes are general education requirements (English, Science, Humanities, Electives, etc.) the only thing missing is my math class. I was told misinformation I don’t know how many times when it came to getting into the math class that I wanted to take (college algebra) that it got to the point where it was too late to do anything about it, getting stuck taking Probability & Statistics which at my college counts as a Math course towards your degree but when transfered to other schools does not count as a Math course which means I have to take College Algebra anyways.

Now the situation at hand is this…I can register to take Immerdiate Algebra (the class before college algebra) which starts in October and runs until the end of the semester in December, it’s called a Fastforward class at my college. Which means, in the end I would end up taking 6 courses instead of the 5 I am taking now. This algebra class would not count as a degree credit towards the AA I’ll be getting in December, hence why I’m not taking it in the first place HOWEVER it will transfer to other schools as a Math courses, particularly MSU in which a transfer student who has taken College Algebra or at least an Intermediate Algebra class or higher is prefered. I can register for the class now, which starts in October, the only thing I’d have to do is switch my lab from Wednesday to Friday that way the times for the math class don’t conflict with my lab times (the math class would be from 3-5:51pm, Monday & Wednesday and I currently have lab on Wedesnday from 2-5pm). Hmm…
