Mathematics

Chairperson: Dr. Jonathan Baker, (614) 287-3833 or jbaker03@cscc.edu. The Chair's hours vary, but are usually business hours (M-F 9am-5pm) during a term. Please check availability by contacting him directly; his duties require him to be often out of the office.

 

Trying to get into a class?

The usual situation is that a student is seeking to take a class despite not having the prerequisite, at least according to the College's records. Please contact the Chair of the department directly to discuss these issues, or to make an appointment to do so. We do not have a "Math advisor," and office staff are not qualified to make official determinations about your competency in Math. You may wish to expedite your request via the Web. Fill out this form, and the Chair will reply as soon as possible. Please note that you will need the Chair's signature if overriding a prerequisite, and the instructor's signature if joining a full class or adding a class after instruction has begun. You will then need to take your signed Add/Drop form to Registration (the second floor of Madison Hall.)

Severe Weather Policy

In the event that the college must close, or alter its operating schedule, because of severe weather or other emergencies, an announcement will be broadcast on local television and radio stations, and on the college's Web site at www.cscc.edu. Those subscribed to the Rave Mobile Safety program will receive text alerts when campus must close due to emergency or weather-related closings.

Students who reside in areas which fall under a Level III or worse Weather Emergency should not attempt to drive to Columbus State even if the college remains open. Consult your course syllabus for information on the makeup of missed homework, labs, tests, or quizzes, or contact your instructor. It is the student's responsibility to keep up with reading and other assignments when a scheduled class does not meet, whatever the reason.
