Please note that MATH 10038 Statistical Thinking has NO PREREQUISITE. This means that any student accepted to Kent State may register for this course.
Time Limits: The ACT, SAT, ALEKS Placement Assessment and Accuplacer scores are acceptable for placement purposes for two years from the date of the assessment. The Banner system will allow students to register for a math class if the score is older than two years, but the Department of Mathematical Sciences advises against this. The HS GPA does not expire.
