Further testing may be done in rare cases and at the discretion of the professor during the first or second class meeting to ensure correct placement of students in skills classes. Any deferment must be approved by the AEP Committee. All basic skills courses are graded primarily on the Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory, and In-Progress basis. Students who qualify may receive an A for the course. Likewise, students may receive an F for the course.
Students receive only institutional credit for basic skills courses.
Credits earned in basic skills classes do not count toward graduation credits. The study skills course, however, does count toward graduation credit. Until they have completed the basic skills program, students who are required to enroll in the AEP will have their progress monitored by the director of developmental education. If the student receives an S in the course, the course can be dropped at registration time for the next semester. Regularly admitted students who score within the ranges listed above on the Enhanced ACT Assessment, the Nelson-Denny Test and the supplementary math and writing tests will be placed in appropriate courses.
