Accelerate Math Program

Did you place into a Transitional Math class? Would you like another chance to place higher?

Accelerate Math is for you!

Math is a difficult subject for many students. The Accelerate Math Program at Greenville Technical College is offered to all students who place into Transitional Math classes (MAT 100, MAT 105). It is designed as a low-stakes, low-stress way for students to brush up on their math skills and be better prepared for their math courses.

Accelerate Math will help you

Review math skills and concepts without the pressure of grades
Prepare to succeed in college math classes
Meet helpful faculty and staff

HOW IT WORKS

For a $35 fee, you will be provided access for six weeks to ALEKS math software. ALEKS is web-based, self-paced, and diagnostic. It will identify your math strengths and weaknesses and design a plan for you to improve your weaknesses. This means that you do not have to spend time working on math concepts that you already know. After working through the math software, you will then be given the opportunity to take a comprehensive assessment. If you complete the assessment with 85% or higher, you will be able to place into a higher level math course. At the very least, you will be improving your math skills so that you will have the best opportunity to be successful in your math class.

To help you navigate the program and the software, GTC has math faculty dedicated to Accelerate Math. These faculty will be glad to help you with the software and the math concepts, as well as any questions you might have as a GTC student.
