CHEM 110: Chemical Principles (see ALEKS Score) and CHEM 111: Chemistry lab

NOTES to Consider:

ALEKS score lower than 61 will need to take MATH 22 —AND— MATH 26 for future PHYS 250 enrollment even though MATH 26 is only required for the major.
Students with qualifying ALEKS scores may select Math 40, 41, 110* or 140*.
Please note that the pass rate for 1st semester HHD students who take 110 or 140 is approximately 50%.
The KINES department strongly encourages students to re-take ALEKS that score below a 61
