Developmental Courses
Developmental Studies classes are provided to students who have a secondary credential but whose college placement test scores or high school GPA indicate academic deficiencies. These classes include preparatory courses designed to assure academic readiness for curriculum programs. If deficiencies are found in any one area, a counselor/advisor will help students select an appropriate course in order to meet necessary program requirements and/or course prerequisites. Developmental studies courses will not count toward graduation. Students are encouraged to complete developmental courses immediately upon enrollment. Developmental courses include Developmental Math (DMA 010 – 080), Developmental Reading/English (DRE 096 – 099), Math Skills Support (MAT 001), and Improving Study Skills (ACA 085), which is a corequisite of all DRE courses and DMA 010-030. Course descriptions may be found in the Course Descriptions section of the college catalog.
