Permission to Take the Course in Another Institution.
April 9, 2021Mathematics department does not give permission to take the course in another institution if the same course is offered at MMC in the semester when it is requested.
The faculty in the Department of Mathematics want to ensure that taking a course at another institution will help you succeed. Sometimes, other institutions offer courses that sound like our courses, but are of lower quality and provide much less content. For this reason, we don’t always approve these requests, and we need information to ensure that the courses taken elsewhere are equivalent to the courses we offer here. -
