Developmental Courses

Developmental courses are designed to provide instruction in the basic skills to ensure a student will be successful in regular, collegiate-level courses. These courses earn credit hours for the term in which they are taken but do not count toward graduation. Grades for developmental courses are P for Passed or R for Repeat. These grades are not computed with other courses in the current or cumulative GPA, nor are they used in the computation to determine Dean’s List, President’s List, or Graduation Honors. Developmental courses must be passed with a grade of "P" before students can enroll in higher level English, reading, and mathematics courses. Please read the Admissions section of the Academic Bulletin and Student Handbook to determine who may be required to take developmental courses. Developmental course absences are counted in the 10% maximum.
