We encourage you to begin this module as soon as possible, and have it fully completed PRIOR TO YOUR NEW STUDENT CONFERENCE.

Once you complete the initial assessment in the module, it will determine what competency areas you require additional development content for. The amount of content development required will vary by student, but we urge you to take your time to ensure you fully understand all content. You are required to fully complete all assigned areas of the module prior to registration for CHEM 119. We want to ensure you are set up for success here at TAMUG!

This module encompasses the foundational skills necessary to be successful in introductory chemistry. These are primary algebra-based mathematics competencies.

Each student will begin the module by completing a pre-test. The module will then adapt, and students will only be required to complete content related to areas that need additional development. Once a student has completed all of the required content, they will be cleared to enter introductory chemistry.
