Information CPT Workshops Developmental Courses Math Placement Info. The Advising Center is committed to conveying a solid understanding of Middlesex County College's policy about developmental courses to all students. A careful reading of this page will help the Center complete its objective. Students take developmental courses based upon the results of the College Placement Test as administered by the Testing Center. Students must complete all required developmental courses as early as possible.
Early remediation helps insure success in other college courses.
No credit-bearing courses in English or mathematics may be taken prior to successful completion of required remedial courses in these areas. Full-time students must satisfactorily complete required developmental courses in the first two semesters of study. If a student's major requires a second level of algebra, one semester will be added to the time allowed for completion. Appropriate level developmental courses are taken in sequence, and all areas must be addressed each semester until all are completed. Students who are required to include developmental course may carry no more than a combined total of 15 credits or credit equivalents.
