Students are notified of MAPS deficiencies when they first enroll. One common situation to be aware of is that Community College preparatory courses that are not accepted by the University for transfer credit may nevertheless satisfy MAPS requirements. Students who fail to take at least one course per semester to satisfy unmet MAPS requirements may face academic dismissal.
