Developmental Program Description and Placement Score Guide
Developmental education courses are provided for CLTCC students who score below the minimum required Placement Test or ACT scores for the program or course. Placement in developmental courses will be determined after the student submits placement scores and is advised by a faculty advisor.
Developmental courses include Foundations of Reading and English (ENGL 0095) and Foundations of Algebra (MATH 0095). These semester-length courses will transfer to other post-secondary institutions as equivalent courses but will not satisfy degree requirements. Successful completion of the prerequisite developmental courses will allow the student to enter the required first-year courses in mathematics and English.
Co-requisite developmental courses are also offered to allow students to take the first-year courses in mathematics and English in the same semester as the developmental course. To enroll in a co-requisite developmental course, students must meet a minimum required placement test score. Co-requisite courses include Collaborative Learning English (ENGL 0096) and Collaborative Learning Algebra (MATH 0096). Students must also enroll in the designated section of ENGL 1010 and/or MATH 1100.
