Entering freshmen who submit SAT I and/or ACT scores below 430 SAT I Critical Reading/17
ACT English and below 400 SAT I Math/17 ACT math will be required to take the COMPASS
placement test. This test is given for three purposes: (1) to determine if a student is
adequately prepared for successful college work in English, reading, and mathematics, (2)
to recommend required Learning Support courses.
The following guidelines concerning Learning Support apply to transfer students:
a. Transfer students who were in Learning Support at the sending institution must provide
scores for placement purposes. The scores may be obtained from the previous
institution or by retesting at Darton State College.
b. Transfer students for whom the college transcript reads “Exited Learning Support” or
“exited” in a specific subject area will not be required to present scores and will be
considered “exited” at Darton State College.
c. All transfer students without transfer credit (C or better) in college mathematics will be
required to provide scores for the Mathematics and Reading portions of COMPASS
test. All transfer students without transfer credit (C or better) for college English will be
required to provide scores for the English and reading portions of the COMPASS test.
D. ACCEPTANCE AND ADMISSIONS STATUS
After all admissions requirements have been satisfied, the applicant, if determined eligible
for admission, will be accepted for enrollment and assigned to one of the following student
classification categories:
1.
UNCONDITIONAL ENROLLMENT
into the credit transfer programs or credit career
programs. Certain specialized programs have additional admissions requirements and
admission to the College does not imply acceptance to these programs. Within the
classification of unconditional enrollment, a student will be further classified as
freshman, sophomore, joint enrollment, transient, irregular, or audit.
2.
CONDITIONAL ENROLLMENT
into Learning Support. Those students whose
COMPASS test scores or comparable College Placement Examination scores indicate
an academic deficiency in one or more of the areas tested are granted conditional
acceptance and are required to remove all deficiencies prior to being admitted
unconditionally. Scores below 74 in reading, below 60 in English and below 37 in
algebra on the COMPASS test will require one or more Learning Support courses in a
given deficiency area. The University System of Georgia has mandated that students
who place in all 3 areas of learning support are no longer eligible for admission.
Students requiring remediation must enroll in these courses first each semester before
enrolling in any credit work. Students needing to satisfy CPC math requirements are
required to do so by satisfactory completion of Learning Support math.
3.
PROVISIONAL ENROLLMENT
is granted to those students whose program of study
requires the College Preparatory Curriculum and who are deficient in one or more
