This program is designed to help students be successful in their introductory math courses. Participating students will receive:
- intensive, individualized review of prerequisite material for the course in which the student is enrolled
- guidance on all aspects of getting through a math course including how to study for tests, strategies for getting that homework done, and how to get the most out of the lecture hours
Students who complete the entire program can qualify for a 1-credit tuition waiver.
In order to participate you must:
- Register for MATH 107, MATH 161, MATH 200, or MATH 262 at UAF for Spring 2013.
- Complete a Math Bridge Program Application Form. (See the link above under HOW).

Space is limited and acceptance is on a first-come first-served basis.
The course will be go-at-your-own-pace. It will include working on prerequisite materials on a computer program called ALEKS. All students will be expected to take a Final Assessment on ALEKS in the Math and Stat Lab. But students will be able to schedule these assessments at time convenient for them.
The course will also include small homework assignments on Blackboard designed to help students get a jump start on the semester. Assignments include setting academic goals, getting to know your syllabus, planning a weekly study schedule, and identifying extra resources.
