Placement
CCR Placement and Transition
0 If students have taken any 100-level course in the four discipline strands (Communication, Arts and Letters, Social Sciences, and Science ) and passed it, they are finished with the REA/ENG sequence. If they have taken and passed ENG 121, they have also completed their needed developmental courses. Students who have completed neither must take the appropriate CCR course based on their Sentence Skills score or they can retest.
CCR how colleges are doing this
0 Students in the new design will have met their CCR requirements when they succeed in a 100 level course
0 Continuing to require other students to complete CCR coursework after the same benchmark would create an unfair circumstance
0 Prerequisite blocks0 Using gt courses0 All GT pathways course content guides include reading, writing and critical
thinking competencies 0 Define “C” as passing
0 Advising holds0 Secondary assessments to better inform advising (i.e. transcript evaluation,
department writing sample, Write Placer, re-take Accuplacer) 0 Advisor relationships are essential
Advising
Advising
0Based on additional information advise students:0 Into any 100 level course without further support, 0 Into a 100 level course with co-requisite support, or0 Into the CCR 092 course
0Students can then make an informed choice about their enrollment
0While you can influence that choice through solid advising, you cannot require them to take CCR courses
