Students who are required to take Learning Support courses are those who were screened for Learning Support placement because they were below the minimum requirements on the SAT, had CPC deficiencies in English or mathematics, or entered as non-traditional students exempt from SAT and CPC requirements. During the first semester of enrollment students must first register for all required Department of Learning Support courses for which they are eligible to register before being allowed to register for other courses. Until Department of Learning Support requirements have been satisfied, students shall not be permitted to take credit courses which require the content or skills of the Department of Learning Support courses as prerequisites. LS Reading is a prerequisite for all Core Curriculum courses. LS English is a prerequisite for college-level English.
LS mathematics is a prerequisite for college-level mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
Students may not accumulate more than 20 semester hours of college-level credit before completing all Department of Learning Support requirements. Students who accumulate 20 semester hours of college-level credit and have not successfully completed required Department of Learning Support courses may enroll only in Department of Learning Support courses until requirements are successfully completed. No degree credit will be earned in Department of Learning Support courses, but institutional credit will be awarded. All time spent in Department of Learning Support course work in a academic area shall be cumulative within the University System. The following limits on Learning Support attempts will apply to students during the transition from quarters to semesters.
