The Solution: How to take MAT 115 Summer 2011 and still register for TED 222 Fall 2011:

The Solution : How to take MAT 115 Summer 2011 and still register for TED 222 Fall 2011 TED 222 & MAT 115 : Since you can’t register for TED 222 for the fall unless you have completed MAT 115 or are currently taking it, here is the solution for many of you that plan to take MAT 115 during summer 2011 at either UNCG or another college. First ,come to 341A Curry & show your adviser (or SOE Advising Center staff) written proof that you have registered for MAT 115 (College Algebra). Then you will be given a pink drop/add slip to add you into TED 222. The last step is to take the completed drop/add slip to the Registrar’s office in Mossman & they will manually add you into TED 222. REMEMBER , if you do not complete the MAT 115 with a "C" or higher, you will not be allowed to stay in the TED 222 course this fall. You will have to show written proof of your College Algebra (MAT 115) grade from the summer course if it is not showing up on your UNCG transcript at the start of the fall semester.
