  21. We are removing the prerequisite requirement for MAT 111 and using the accelerated pedagogy used in the pilot course, MAT 172. The course success rate in MAT 172, which does not have prerequisite, has been similar or higher than MAT 111. It should be noted that as a result of the success of the pilot accelerated courses, the Mathematics department eliminated the developmental mathematics courses.
