It is for this reason that we offer an online introductory level Math and Chemistry courses.

Pre-University courses are intended for students who:

• Are about to start university or college and are concerned about their foundation in math and/or chemistry;
• Have been out of high school for several years and would like a refresher before taking university or college courses that require high-school-level math and/or chemistry;
• Are already at university or college and need a refresher before taking courses requiring high-school-level math and/or chemistry.

MATH 0110: PRE-UNIVERSITY MATHEMATICS

• Many students come to university without the prerequisite math courses or knowledge that they need in order to be admitted into the mathematics and statistics courses necessary for their program.

  This non-credit course serves as a prerequisite for courses that require NS Grades 11 and 12 Academic Math or their equivalent. It is acceptable at Acadia as a pre-requisite for MATH 1213 or MATH 1613.
