  3. Current Issue Currently students who place into developmental courses are mandated to take those courses. These students are also able to enroll into 100 and 200 level courses before successfully completing developmental courses with a C- or higher.

  4. Proposal • Should we examine all college-level courses for developmental and ESL co-requisites or pre-requisites and enforce them?

  5. Current Policy Statement: GRCC students whose Accuplacer scores indicate that they need developmental coursework (in English, Math, or Reading) will be required to enroll in and pass that coursework with a C- or better before taking college-level English and Math courses, and other specified college-level courses.

  6. Recommendations Every department should establish a departmental review of all one hundred and two hundred level courses to determine if there are developmental or ESL prerequisites that must be completed prior to enrolling subsequent courses. Where there are developmental and ESL prerequisites attached to a 100 or 200 level course we should enforce the prerequisite.
