Recommended for UT students scoring below the cut-off on the UT Math Level I Placement Test. This class is equivalent to M301 at UT.
Location and time: RLM 5.116 MW 6:15pm- 7:55pm
Dates: These classes are offered in ACC's 12-week session in the fall and spring semesters. That session begins about 4 weeks after the beginning of the regular semester and ends about the same time as the end of the final exam period at UT. For exact dates and section number, see the Mathematics portion of the ACC Schedule. Look to the very end of the list of courses, where the 12-week session is listed. The location of the class is listed as UT.
Course information: Catalog description, Departmental handout with textbook, syllabus, etc. The textbook is available from all ACC bookstores. It may be available from the UT-area bookstores. Call ahead and be sure to tell them the full information. There are lots of books with the title College Algebra.

Tuition and Fees: The registration website has a link to a page with the current tuition and fees.
Prerequisite:
Students can meet the prerequisite for this course any one of these ways:
Students who made a lower score than indicated on the TASP and SAT can take the COMPASS test through ACC. Students who are not able to meet the prerequisite will need to take some developmental mathematics courses in order to prepare for College Algebra. The ACC advisors can interpret the assessment test scores and place you in the appropriate course. (If you have scored high enough on the TASP or SAT to have met the TASP requirement, but not high enough to place into College Algebra, that appropriate developmental course will be Intermediate Algebra, MATD 0390.) Those developmental courses are not offered on the UT campus, but are available at all the main ACC campuses.
When and How to Register:
Follow the directions for Admission and Registration on the registration website. Registration is generally by telephone and spring registration will begin in December. (It will end one or two weeks before the class begins.) New students must complete the application, orientation, and advising before being allowed to register. Start this right away. Much of the process can be handled by mail and the web, or you can start by going to the Advising Center at an ACC campus. If you haven't met the prerequisite for the course, you must take the COMPASS as part of this orientation. That must be done in person and you must make an appointment in advance for that test. Check the website for information about making an appointment (and preparing for the test.) The closest ACC campus to UT is the Rio Grande Campus. Take the UT/Lake Austin shuttle from 21st & Guadalupe or Jester Dorm to 12th and Nueces. The Rio Grande campus is one block to the west of that shuttle bus stop. Parking at the Rio Grande campus is very tight -- rather like parking at UT. If you will go to the campus by car, you may want to try a different campus. Eastview Campus is not far from UT and has excellent parking. A general map to all campuses includes links to specific campus information, including more detailed maps to the separate campuses.
If you have previously enrolled at Austin Community College, you may skip the steps of application, orientation, and advising. Follow the telephone registration and payment directions in the ACC Course Schedule. (Scroll down a screen or two to find these directions.)
Important Notice:
If you wish credit for this course to appear on your UT transcript, after the class is over you must request that an ACC Admissions and Records Office send an official transcript from ACC to UT.
