ECED-1311 Art and Creative Expression in an Integrated Curriculum or ECED-1331 Music and Movement in an Integrated Curriculum will be accepted in place of ECED-1340 for students who completed coursework with a grade of “C” or higher prior to Fall 2024

ECED-1311 and ECED-1331 together with a grade of “C” or higher will be accepted in place of ECED-2200.  Students who did not complete both of these courses prior to Fall 2024 must complete ECED-2200.

MATH-1140, MATH-1141, MATH-1200, MATH-1270, and MATH-1280 can no longer count towards fulfilling the college-level mathematics requirement.  These courses were re-classified as developmental mathematics by the state of Ohio in 2016.  Tri-C established a 5-year transitioning window for students who had completed these courses prior to 2016 to apply them towards meeting graduation requirements, which expired in Summer 2021. It is highly recommended to see a counselor to determine the appropriate math required for your current major.
