Developmental Course Requirements

• Appropriate testing before admittance to the program will determine your need for any developmental courses to help you become successful in the program. You will complete the pre-admissions COMPASS test administered at Southeast Community College, or you may be able to use scores from ASSET or ACT tests.
  
  
  
• The COMPASS, ASSET, or ACT tests will be in the areas of math, reading, and writing. Scores will be used to place you in appropriate math and writing courses as well as any developmental reading program that may be necessary.

  ENGL0850 Reading Strategies I
  ENGL0880 Reading Strategies II

  MATH0900 Math Fundamentals
  
  
  
• If you are an ESL or ELL student, you must complete all prescribed ESL courses through Advanced ESLII (ESLX0830). Completion of additional testing at that time will determine the next writing course to take.
