from the college computers. Please do not make online purchases(except

You will need to present a proof of pre-requisite for this class.
The pre-requisite course is intermediate algebra. We can check the
pre-requisites online during orientation, if the college you attended has your
records available via Internet.
Once a permission number is assigned to you, you can go ahead and enroll
in the course during orientation. Visit the URL www.arc.losrios.edu and click on
registration.
Be sure to pay the fees online, by check or at the business office on
the main campus within 3 business days.
Please verify your enrollment within the first week of class by viewing
your schedule online.
If you are repeating the course for a second time (that is, taking
statistics for a third time), please file a petition with the records office at
your earliest convenience. Otherwise, you’ll be administratively dropped
from the course by the Admissions and Records. The instructor would not
be able to reverse that. In addition, your grades on the Blackboard
system will be deleted automatically and cannot be restored even after your
enrollment is restored.
Everyone’s pre-requisite will be checked on the first day of
class.
The pre-requisite course is intermediate algebra. We can check the
pre-requisites online during orientation, if the college you attended has your
records available via Internet.
The instructors will follow college and department guidelines concerning
pre-requisites.
Students who have not completed intermediate algebra by the first day of
class will be dropped from the course.
Statistics is a transferable course and the ARC’s
self-assessment process does not apply.
If you fulfilled the pre-requisite at another college, and it is not
available online, it is best if you obtain a pre-requisite verification form
from ARC counseling center.
You may challenge the pre-requisite requirement by filing a petition at
the math department office located in Howard Hall on the main campus.
They notify you and the instructor within 3 business days of their
