From: Heather Shattuck <heather.shattuck@utsa.edu<mailto:heather.shattuck@utsa.edu>> Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2020 1:10 PM To: UTSA Advising <advising@utsa.edu<mailto:advising@utsa.edu>> Subject: CHE 1103 Prerequisite Change for Fall 2020 Good afternoon, Could you please share on the following on the advising listserv? The prerequisite for CHE 1103 (General Chemistry I) lecture has changed for the fall 2020 term. This change applies to both new and continuing students. To be eligible to take CHE 1103 in fall 2020, students must have one of the following: * AP Chemistry Score of 3 or higher; * CHE 1073 with a C- or better; * or complete the ALEKS Chemistry assessment with a score of 70% or higher: https://testing.utsa.edu/aleks-chemistry/<https://nam03.safelinks.prot... I have provided the course description from the 2020-2022 catalog below. Just to confirm, MAT 1073 with a C- or better will no longer satisfy the prerequisite for CHE 1103 for students planning to take the course in the fall or later terms. Students who do not want to take CHE 1073 should be advised to complete the Chemistry ALEKS assessment. Students can submit a prerequisite override request, but as with any course, the override may not be approved. CHE 1103. General Chemistry I. (3-0) 3 Credit Hours. (TCCN = CHEM 1311) Prerequisite: AP Chemistry Score of 3 or greater, or a grade of "C-" or better in CHE 1073<https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2...;, or above 70% mastery in the ALEKS Chemistry assessment. Concurrent enrollment in CHE 1121<https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2... is recommended. An introduction to descriptive inorganic chemistry and atomic-molecular structure, including such fundamental concepts as the periodic system of elements, valency, chemical bonding, reactions and reaction mechanisms, stoichiometry, equilibria, acids and bases, thermochemistry, molecular-kinetic theory, and states of matter.
