Remedial Instruction
Remedial instruction is intended to provide students with the foundational skills and content knowledge necessary for university-level coursework. The need for remedial coursework may be determined by academic proficiency standards for acceptance or admission into particular programs of study. Remedial courses are numbered from 0001–0999. There is no credit earned towards the degree for completion of remedial courses. Remedial courses are billed for course fees and/or the credit hour equivalent as noted in the course descriptions. The course equivalent credits are counted towards determining credit load and full-time or half-time status. All students regardless of matriculation status must complete remedial courses with a grade of "C" or higher to proceed to the next level of their studies.
Students may also complete some remedial requirements in English writing and Mathematics via co-requisite options or through summer or winter intersession immersion programs. Co-requisite options allow students to enroll into credit-bearing courses while also receiving additional instruction opportunities. Co-requisite credit is provided at no cost to the student. Immersion programs are non-credit bearing programs that are intensive two week long opportunities where students receive instruction outside of the regular academic semester and at no additional cost. Upon successful completion of an immersion program, students can enroll directly in university-level courses in English and Mathematics.
