Interesting. Back when I was in uni, the university offered a 6 week prep course that would recap/teach the basics that were expected in the first semester.
So enrolled students could choose to take that course to brush up on or learn these fundamentals so everyone was (in theory) on the expected skill level. Other than that there was pretty much no hand holding - 18+ year olds are considered adults after all.

It worked fine, but I believe that with real training in doing algebra and calculus mentally can get you further, but that this training takes more time and requires actual tutoring if you want the broad masses of suitable-for-university students to acquire the skills.
