The Developmental Studies program is designed to assist students whose placement exam scores indicate the need for a review in one or more academic areas prior to students proceeding into the prescribed course sequences leading to higher level academics. Diagnostic testing and individualized programs of study allow students to progress at rates appropriate for their individual circumstances. The learning environment allows for variety and flexibility in the presentation of course content and offers a gradual transition to the more traditional lecture-style classroom.
Students who place in developmental courses must take that course (or courses) in their first term of enrollment at the College. Students who place in developmental level courses may not enroll in more than 12 credit hours.
