Developmental Education

If assessment/placement testing results indicate the need for remediation (also referred to as, 'developmental education' or 'pre-college level coursework', these courses are generally numbered less than 100), students will be advised to complete it during their first 30 credit hours of enrollment.

Through consultation with an advisor, a schedule will be developed for each student that will allow for the timely completion of any necessary remediation, either prior to or concurrent with the beginning of the student’s program of study. Specific procedures and information on program entry scores are available in the Student Services Office and through the MCC Testing Center.

Pursuant to C.R.S. 223-1-113.3, the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE) must provide a high school feedback report to Colorado school districts on remediation of their recent high school graduates. For that report, recent high school graduates are defined as degree-seeking and non-degree-seeking undergraduates who have graduated from a Colorado public or private high school (or its equivalent) during the previous academic year; or are 17, 18, or 19 years of age if year of high school graduation is not provided by the higher education institution. Age will be calculated as of September 15 of the specified fiscal year.
