who pass will automatically be transferred to MATH 032, which meets at
the same time; students who do not pass will remain enrolled in MATH
031. Satisfactory completion of this course fulfills the prerequisite for
enrollment
in Intermediate Algebra. ABC/no credit grading only. This course
is designated remedial and does not count as credit toward the bachelor’s
degree, although the units may be applied to financial aid minimum
requirements. (005493)
