Mathematics Alternatives Table
Each row lists alternative ways to meet a mathematics requirement for course prerequisites (the minimum acceptable grade for each course is indicated in brackets). For example, the requirement 'Level C1 as defined in the Math Alternatives Table' is fulfilled by any of the courses or tests listed on Level C1. In addition, each Requirement Level is fulfilled automatically by any Requirement Level higher in the table. For example, the requirement 'Level C1 as defined in the Math Alternatives Table' is fulfilled by any of the courses or tests listed on Levels A1 or B1, as well as C1.
