About College Prep at CFCCCollege preparatory students are assigned college preparatory classes as indicated by placement scores. The three areas of college preparatory instruction are mathematics, English (writing), and reading. Students who are assigned college prep instruction may take a limited number of college level courses in each curriculum area as follows:
All students required to enroll in a college preparatory course may elect to seek an alternative source for remedial instruction. The alternatives may include but not be limited to a private provider, Continuing Education, or the Learning Support Center. Any student who tests into any college preparatory course or who selects an alternative method of instruction is encouraged to begin enrolling immediately in the college preparatory coursework and maintain continuous enrollment in college preparatory coursework until all college preparatory requirements have been satisfied. Once a student completes 12 credit hours of college level coursework, the student will then be permitted to enroll only in college preparatory coursework until all prep requirements have been satisfied. Students should enroll in at least one college preparatory course in their first term. A student may take other appropriate college-level courses in addition to college preparatory courses if a student chooses to do so. However, all college preparatory courses must be completed prior to enrolling in more than 12 hours of college-level courses. Failure to comply with this rule will affect a student’s ability to enroll in college-level courses and may affect a student’s financial aid award. Students enrolled in a college preparatory course may take the common placement test (CPT) once every 30 days, after the completion of their current term of enrollment or at any time between terms. Students who attain scores that qualify for entry into regular college credit courses will be allowed to register for such courses their subsequent term of enrollment at CFCC. Students are required to present passing scores on a common placement test to show that basic computation and/or communication skills have been met. State law, House Bill 1545, requires CFCC to charge full cost of instruction on the third attempt of a college preparatory course taken at CFCC, since fall 1997, in English, reading, or mathematics. However, due to financial hardship and/or extenuating circumstances, a student may be able to qualify for an exception to the increased fee. An exception based on extenuating circumstances may be used only once for each course.
College Preparatory Courses College preparatory courses do not meet the General Education requirements and are nontransferable electives. They cannot be used to meet the 60 hour graduation requirement. College credit is not given for these courses. Students must continually enroll in required preparatory courses until all requirements are completed.
