Developmental Courses

Students who do not place into college-level courses with the ACCUPLACER test, are required to take developmental courses that help them build their Reading, Writing and Math skills that are needed to be successful in college. Students will be placed into these courses based on ACT/SAT or ACCUPLACER test scores.

Credits for these courses do not count towards graduation, but they do count towards classification (e.g. sophomore, junior or senior). These grades are also averaged into a student’s cumulative GPA, which could affect their financial aid.

The required developmental courses are:

  • ENG 078 Reading and Writing Strategies (3 cr. hrs.)
  • ENG 098 Essentials of College Writing (3 cr. hrs.)
  • MATH 075 General Math (4 cr. hrs.)
  • MATH 095 Algebra w/Applications (4 cr. hrs.)

Students who place into a developmental Writing and Reading course must take it in their first semester.
