Courses for reading, math and/or writing improvement prior to curriculum enrollment are available to students in a variety of formats. After completing the A-B Tech placement test (“Accuplacer”), a student is placed at the level of one or more Developmental courses. This non-credit coursework precedes registration into college level courses and is designed to increase a student’s skill level in reading, writing and/or mathematics.
