               COLLEGE READINESS TESTS AND DEVELOPMENTAL COURSES (POLICY)

All entering students take college approved tests in English, Reading, and Mathematics to 
determine their readiness to register for college level courses. Entering Students must 
demonstrate a 10.1 grade reading comprehension level to advance to college level courses 
(except as described below). 

Students whose scores indicated a need for developmental instruction prior to entering college 
level courses shall register in the appropriate developmental course (any or all of: English 
Reading and Writing, and Mathematics).  A student may not register for college level courses 
(except as indicated below) until he/she has attained a 10.1 grade reading comprehension level, 
as measured by the approved test. Students placed into developmental math courses, whose 
scores after developmental courses in Math indicate a need for further developmental instruction, 
will be referred to appropriate instructional support or course work.

Students whose college readiness scores require placement in developmental courses may 
concurrently enroll ONLY in the following college level courses.

including the developmental courses. Students who are placed into developmental courses and 
who concurrently enroll in college courses and who fail, withdraw, or are dropped from 
developmental courses shall not enroll in college level courses until attaining a college readiness 
test score in reading.

Students, who cannot attain college readiness test scores in reading comprehension after having 
taken developmental courses twice, will be referred to other services and cannot register for fully 
credited college courses.

Developmental courses do not count toward total credit hour requirements for graduation.
