722.01 Developmental Education

ESCC offers developmental education courses in math and English to foster academic competencies necessary for student success in college-level courses.

Placement in developmental courses is determined through scores on the ACT, SAT, or ACCUPLACER. A student's high school coursework and GPA may also be considered.

ESCC encourages students who place into a developmental course to enroll within the first two semesters and to remain in the discipline until academic competencies are developed.

Instructors assign grades of A, B, C, D, F, or I, with a minimum grade of 70 percent required to pass each course. Developmental course grades are not calculated in the GPA for the awarding of honors.
