Learning Support
The Learning Support program provides students with additional preparation in mathematics
and/or English. This program is designed to increase a student’s success during their college education.
Who
Students who do not meet Learning Support exemption criteria as listed in the catalog are placed in the Learning Support program. They are required to take mathematics and/or English Learning Support courses. Exemption criteria include High School GPA, ACT, SAT or Accuplacer scores. Learning Support students have the option of taking the Accuplacer placement exam which will exempt them from the Learning Support program if they achieve the minimum exemption score.
