Quick Facts

Developmental Courses
According to the State of Illinois guidelines, developmental coursework cannot count toward a degree.  In addition, grades earned in developmental courses will appear on a student's transcripts but will not be calculated into the student's overall grade point average.

Placement Testing
All entering full-time students will take a comprehensive placement test before registering for classes.

Pre-testing
Certain developmental communications, mathematics, and reading courses require a pre-test, administered during the first class. This pre-test is used to identify students who may have been improperly placed in a lower level course, and for comparison with final exam grades to evaluate course effectiveness. The pre-test does NOT count toward a student's course grade. Ask your instructor for additional details on the use of the pre-test.

MTH-097, Geometry
Geometry is required for all students who did not complete one year of geometry in high school with a grade of "C" or better.
