REMEDIAL ALGEBRA SENATE RESOLUTION
Professor Orlando pointed out that on page 31 of the 2001-2002 College catalog under Degree Requirements it is stated: "Students in all degree programs and in certain certificate programs are required to successfully complete a course in basic algebra if their placement tests indicate this need."
