  • The course has been successfully completed with a minimum grade of 75% (see table below for specifics).

Note:

  • If you have completed the course more than 5 years ago, it will not be considered, regardless of the grade received.
  • Regardless of the degree of studies obtained (engineering, math, physics etc.), if you completed it more than 5 years ago, and if you are not pursuing any graduate studies or research in a related field, no math exemptions will be granted.

Exemptions

Exemptions may be granted based on the following previously pursued math courses:

CMSC 000 Foundations of Mathematics

Quebec CEGEP courses:

1) Math 536 Upgrading (Math 536 Enrichi) OR
Pre-Calculuswith a minimum grade of 80% such as 201-HSG

AND

2) Acourse covering sequences and series* (including infinite sequence equations) with a minimum grade of 80%.

* Note: Sequences and Series constitute 30% of the course and if absent no exemptions will be given.

CMS2 500 Mathematics for Management
(Graduate level course)
Students need to have completed courses at theUniversity levelwith a minimum grade ofB, in each ofthe areas ofMathematics inFinance, Probability & Statistics and Optimizationto be considered for an exemption.
