Learning Support Course Requirements
- When placement test scores indicates students may not
be able to attain their educational goals in one or more of the basic skills areas, they are required to
enroll in the appropriate Learning Support courses prior to enrollment in the college-level basic
skills courses. Currently, COMPASS test scores below 74 in reading, 60 in English, below 37 in
Algebra for students whose program of study requires MATH 1001, or below 47 in Algebra for
students whose program of study requires MATH 1111 will require one or more Learning Support

English Composition; ENGL 0999, Support for English Composition; MATH 0987, Foundations for
Quantitative Reasoning; MATH 0997, Support for Quantitative Reasoning; MATH 0989,

Students must take Learning Support courses required of their curriculum. Students must register
for
all
required Learning Support courses
before
registering for any credit work. Students are
permitted to enroll in credit courses (1) if they have completed or are enrolled in all their Learning
Support courses, and (2) if the Learning Support course is not a prerequisite.
A student who
accumulates thirty semester college credit hours and has not successfully completed required
Learning Support courses may enroll only in Learning Support courses until requirements are
successfully completed.
Learning Support Format
- All Learning Support courses offer special instruction designed to
correct students’ basic skills deficiencies; such deficiencies are identified through placement and
diagnostic testing. To exit a Learning Support area, students must satisfy the instructional
requirements of the associated credit-bearing college course. For instance, students who are enrolled
in learning support English will exit learning support after the student has successfully passed ENGL
1101. Mathematics, and Writing Centers are open both day and night for individual assistance for
students with specific problems. These centers have both directors and student assistants for tutorial
services at no additional cost to the student.
Learning Support Course Credits

awarded institutional college credit. Credit hours earned in Learning Support courses will be in
addition to those required for graduation.
