EXPECTED PERFORMANCE IN DEVELOPMENTAL COURSES
If a student does not receive the minimum required scores on an approved TSI test,
the student will be required to enroll and attend prescribed developmental courses
and remain in those courses until passing test scores are submitted or the
developmental sequence is successfully completed.
The developmental studies program is intended to assist students in acquiring the
essential skills needed to succeed in college. All students are expected to do their
utmost to complete the courses in the shortest possible time. Recognizing, however,
that individuals learn at different rates, the developmental education program
provides a flexible grading scheme. Grades of A, B, and C indicate that the student is
satisfactorily meeting the specified performance criteria for the course. A grade of D
cannot be given in developmental courses. An IP (in progress) is a non-punitive
grade; however, students receiving an IP must re-enroll in the course. The grade of F
will be given to students who are not attending class regularly or who are not
completing the required coursework.
Students enrolled in developmental classes will NOT be allowed to withdraw
from ANY developmental courses.
Furthermore, instructors can NOT withdraw
their students from the developmental course. ALL developmental students will
earn a grade of A, B, C, IP, or F and are NOT eligible to receive a “W” in any
developmental class. Developmental students who accumulate excessive absences
in developmental classes will receive an “F” in the class.
BLOCKED COURSES DETERMINED BY TSI SCORES
Some academic courses are blocked from enrollment based on TSI requirements. In
such instances, students must pass the appropriate section on an approved TSI test
or complete the required developmental course sequence in order to become
eligible to enroll in the courses that are blocked in their degree plan. Blocked
courses in each TSI area (reading, writing and math) are outlined below:
