Measures of Student Readiness Minimal Qualifications for College Readiness (NELS 88) ❖ Rank at or above the 54th percentile of high school class ❖ Have a GPA of 2.7 or higher in academic courses OR ❖ Have an ACT composite score of 19 or higher (40th percentile)

The National Reality Only 46% of high school graduates meet this criteria These students have an ❖ 85% chance of starting college ❖ 50% chance of receiving a bachelor’s degree Students who don’t meet these readiness standards have only a 14% chance of completing college

A Preview of Current Initiatives in Developmental Math Placement: Summer placement test prep; improved communication with Student Affairs; placement protocol providing multiple options for MAT091 students Avoidance: Refresher to avoid Dev Ed placement Acceleration: Combined 090/091 in one semester; 091/105 in one semester (Vertical/Accelerated Model); Emporium model, utilizing mastery-based mathematical software, with opportunity to accelerate Academic Support: Tutors; specialized LEC100s; supplemental materials on website; Winterim intensive review; Learning Community with LEC100
