4. Corequisite • Corequisite • Fun facts: • The first recorded use of “corequisite” was in 1948 • It is in the bottom 40% of words for popularity • Slightly more popular than “obnubilate” • Neither of those words is in Microsoft’s dictionary

5. Students enrolled in single-semester, corequisite English courses typically succeeded at twice the rate of students enrolled in traditional prerequisite English courses [in Colorado, Indiana and Tennessee] (Complete College America, 2015) . These changes [including the addition of corequisite courses] contributed to a doubling of one-year college math completion rates (from 8% to 18%) and an almost 50% increase in one-year college English completion rates (from 25% to 37%) [in North Carolina and Virginia] (Community College Research Center, 2015) At four colleges [in Arkansas, Michigan and New Jersey] offering co-requisite models, completion of college English was 1.6 to 2.3 times higher than in traditional remediation, increasing from 38-50% to 62-78%. Equity gaps for Black and Hispanic students narrowed or disappeared completely (Center for Applied Research, 2015).

16. ALP Timeline at NCMC • Piloted 2 sections in 2011 • Gradually scaled up while assessing success vs. stand-alone • Pass rate increased by 6% • Enrolled in more credits subsequent semesters—more tuition $ • Outperformed stand-alone students in structure, development, and mechanics • Result: No curricular or financial negatives. Difficult to schedule. Hand-enroll with mandatory advising. • Currently at full scale.
