Math Start is an intensive eight-week program for incoming CUNY  students. The program’s goal is to increase students’ math proficiency before starting credit classes. Math Start provides intensive instruction and advisement to help students prepare to succeed in college and reduce or eliminate remedial math needs before matriculating at CUNY. The program also admits a limited number of matriculated students who have attempted the college’s remedial math courses without success in passing the CUNY Elementary Algebra Final Exam (CEAFE).

Math Start serves students by helping to:

•  Eliminate or reduce remedial math needs and prepare for success in college math coursework

•  Prepare for campus life and make the most out of the college experience

•  Save their financial aid award for credit courses--Math Start is only $35 (including materials)

•  Connect to CUNY’s Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP), if eligible
