2022-2023 Academic Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]
Corequisite Developmental Education (CoDE)
|
|
The objective of CoDE is to increase gatekeeper momentum. Over the last several years developmental education has been reformed from semester-long courses to one-credit math modules and 8-week integrated reading and writing courses, a new placement test has been created, and the primary form of placement has been unweighted high school GPA of 2.6. Goals of RISE include properly placing students into gateway level courses with or without mandated corequisite supports, elimination of a placement test, and raising the GPA criteria from 2.6 to 2.8.
Students entering a NC Community College will be placed by unweighted high school GPA into one of three categories. Students with a GPA 2.8+ may register for any class without mandatory additional supports. Students with a GPA 2.2-2.799 may enroll in a gateway math or English course with a mandatory corequisite. Students with a GPA < 2.2 must enroll in a one semester transition math and/or English course. At Pitt Community College, students with a GPA < 1.5 must enroll in a Basic Skills transition English and/or math course through our Transitional Studies program.
As a result of evaluation, students may be required to take appropriate courses from the following list.
