Guidelines for placement into
Developmental Studies Courses:

BEFORE ADVISEMENT:

  • If RDG 035 is required, but the student has a WSAMP of 20 (ENG 100) or WSAMP of 30 (ENG 101), the student should retest on reading to determine if they can score into a higher level reading.
  • If RDG 035 is required, but the student placed into MAT 100, MAT 101, MAT 102, or higher based on the Algebra score, the student should retest on reading to determine if they can score into a higher level reading which would enable them to take math.
  • If RDG 100 is required, but the student has a WSAMP of 30 (ENG 101), the student should retest on reading to determine if they can score into a higher level reading.
  • The exeception to 1 & 2 is students for whom English is not their native or only language. These students may need to be placed into English as a Second Language courses that are equivalent to the RDG and ENG courses. These students should be referred to Lisa Cheeks at 738-7612 for further assistance.

If RDG 100 is required and the WSAMP is 30, the student cannot take ENG 101 with RDG 100.
If student is required to take MAT 032 or ENG 035, but placed into RDG 100, the student should start with the lowest course sequence. For example if the student needs MAT 032 and ENG 100, but does not want to be full time, the student should begin with MAT 032.
If the student has completed all alternatives, but not passed RDG 100, the student should select one of the following courses: COL 103, IDS 102, or HSS 100.
Students who are required to take RDG 035 cannot take over 12 hours.
Students who are required to take RDG 100 cannot take over 14 hours; MAT 100 is a 5 hour course.
