Official
articulation agreements have been established with other post-secondary
and secondary schools. Where these agreements exist, the specific block
of training (i.e., session/ semester/year) will be accepted as
equivalent to that taught at ISU and will count equally toward
graduation.
The
courses listed above will be taught in sequential blocks of
instruction. Successful completion of a course is required before the
student can progress in the program. If the student fails any math,
theory, or lab course, then that course must be repeated and a passing
grade obtained before the student can advance in the program. The
student must exit the program and make up the deficiency through
Technical General Education or other appropriate methods. The student
will then be allowed to repeat the course at the next available program
opening.
Once
a student successfully completes ELTR 141 and 142, Applied Mathematics
I and II, s/he may enroll directly into an academic math course which
requires MATH 147 as a prerequisite.
