Some CSU campuses have found less disruptive solutions to the valid concern about the adequacy of students’ mathematics preparation. Cal State Northridge, for example, has designed a “corequisite”pathway: Rather than a remedial prerequisite preceding College Algebra, for example, the campus allows students who don’t pass their screening test to enroll in College Algebra, while simultaneously taking a one-unit add-on course to help them succeed. This approach allows students to move forward in their math pathways – and it doesn’t apply to students enrolling in statistics courses
