Program Overview

Introduction to the Math Boot Camp

The Math Boot Camp (MBC) is a short and intensive in-person, computer-based math workshop designed to help students improve their math skills or place into a more advanced mathematics class (MAC1105 or higher). The program provides group and individual instruction.

What is MyOpenMath?

MyOpenMath is a free educational platform that integrates seamlessly into Canvas, providing delivery of homework, assignments, quizzes, and tests with rich mathematical content. Students can receive immediate feedback on algorithmically generated questions with numerical or algebraic expression answers.

Who Needs the Math Boot Camp?

The boot camp serves all undergraduate students who would like to:

• Repeat a mathematics course for the 2nd attempt for students from the College of Engineering.
• Repeat a mathematics course for the 3rd attempt for all other colleges.
• Place into a higher level mathematics course by achieving a passing score on the MBC Assessment.
• Improve their success in their next mathematics course or mathematics course currently underway.
• Review and improve their ability in mathematics after a long absence (one year or more).

Requirements

If required to take the MBC before registering for a mathematics course, students must fulfill 36 hours in the Math Emporium Lab (SE150) on the Boca Raton Campus. Students are also required to reach a minimum percentage on the Final Assessment exam given at the end of each MBC. Participation in the 1st hour of the first day of every boot camp is mandatory.

Cost

The cost for each boot camp is $200. If a student is required to repeat the MBC Program (having taken the camp once before), there is a discounted fee of $150 if done within one year of the last full fee course attended.

Cancellations

Students must notify the office by phone or email at least 48 hours before the course begins if they must cancel a course to receive a full refund. If less than 48 hours notice is given, a $15 processing fee for the cancellation will be charged. No cancellations will be accepted after a course begins.
