This is a [[linked course]] with a [[Test period|common exam period]].
 
 
Unlike nearly all other linked courses, MATH 1553 denotes the section letter (eg. A) as "Studio" and the section letter-numbers (eg. A01) as "Lecture". This is likely an error, or maybe a special case resulting from the hybrid/remote class format in 2020. This causes a bug in [https://github.com/gt-scheduler/website/issues/42 gt-scheduler] where it doesn't do the lecture-studio matching correctly, so please double check your schedule to ensure that the Studio and Lecture sections have the same letter.

At least one of the following:
 
 
* D or higher in MATH 1113 (Precalculus).
 
* D or higher in MATH 1552 (Integral Calculus) or equivalent.
 
* 620 or higher on the Math section of the SAT
 
* 26 or higher on the Math section of the ACT.
