ACC's basic sequence to review / replace high school algebra is three courses:
If you want to complete this sequence in fewer than three semesters, you can either
If you passed two years of high school algebra or if you passed one year of high school algebra and felt fairly comfortable about mathematics during that course, you should be able to review enough algebra to take a retest on the ACC Assessment Test and place out of at least Prealgebra and possibly Elementary Algebra. You may find our Prerequisite Review Sheets helpful. In order for it to affect your placement in the algebra sequence, you must take this test and score high enough BEFORE you begin an ACC developmental math course. Check with the Assessment Office at any of the campuses to arrange to take (or retake) the Assessment Test.
Only a few students choose the "fast-track" courses, so there are not very many sections offered. Look in the schedule now to see whether any of these are at a time and campus that fits your schedule. Then talk with someone in the math department at the appropriate campus to see whether you meet the qualifications for those courses.
