Developmental Course Progression

Purpose of Developmental Studies

The Developmental Studies Program is offered to guide, support, and facilitates the success of those students who may benefit from our services. The department will provide basic reading, writing, and math courses. We encourage students to take ownership of their academic achievements.  Each student must accept responsibility and accountability for his/her academic performance.

Basic Writing (BW) and Basic Reading Techniques (BRT) may be taken concurrently.  BW and BRT may not be taken concurrently with English Comp. Prep.  If required, BW and/or BRT must be passed prior to enrolling in Developmental Composition Prep.

Developmental courses must be passed with a “C” or better prior to advancing to the next level.
