If you need 1 or more developmental courses, check out the schedule for RunningStart.

RunningStart is a collection of learning communities for students with ACT scores under 18 in Math, Reading and/or Writing. Many first-year students need to improve their skills or knowledge before taking a full load of college-level courses. RunningStart provides these students with a block of carefully scheduled classes with extra academic attention and support during their first college semester.

MAH 080: "Mathematics Assistance" offers supplementary instruction paired with selected developmental mathematics courses.

MAH 090:  "Basic Mathematical Skills" is a prealgebra course for students who never took algebra in high school or who not have the computational skills needed to be successful in MAH 095.

MAH 095: "Beginning Algebra" includes topics covered in a first year algebra course.  If students are required to take MAH 095, they must also successfully complete MAH 099 before they may register for college level math courses. (3 credit hours)

ENG 090: "Writing Workshop" instructs students to write papers in a variety of forms and guides them through the writing process. (3 credit hours)

LAP 091: "Reading Workshop" provides students with practice and instruction in literate behaviors, reading strategies/processes, and critical/creative responses to books read. (3 credit hours)

LAP 090:  "Academic Assistance" offers supplementary instruction paired with different course.  Offered on a pass/fail basis. (1 credit hour)
