VPI meeting

CCR Placement and Transition

0 If students have taken any 100-level course in the four discipline strands (Communication, Arts and Letters, Social Sciences, and Science ) and passed it, they are finished with the REA/ENG sequence. If they have taken and passed ENG 121, they have also completed their needed developmental courses. Students who have completed neither must take the appropriate CCR course based on their Sentence Skills score or they can retest.

Timeline

0Are we required to waive CCR for some students? 0Part of the design approved by the SBCCOE in

February 2013 0 Is a requirement of all System colleges to implement

for Fall 2014

Which courses?

0 Is this ALL 100 level courses? 0The statement identifies “100 level courses in the four

discipline strands” 0 Interpret this to mean GT pathways courses0All GT pathways course content guides include

reading, writing and critical thinking competencies

Define “pass”

0What does “pass” a 100 level course mean?0Completed it with at least a “C”

Page 6: Vpi meeting aug 2013

Transition0 Is this only for the transition period to the new

model?0Designed to address placement for students who were

enrolled before the redesign and who may have taken one or more 100 level courses

0Students in the new design will have met their CCR requirements when they succeed in a 100 level course

0Continuing to require other students to complete CCR coursework after the same benchmark would create an unfair circumstance

Options?

0What are our options when we feel very strongly that these students may not be adequately prepared for success in subsequent 100 level courses, especially in ENG 121?

0Students are allowed to continue without taking any CCR courses

0You are not required to allow them to do this without advising to give the student a realistic picture of their chances for success

Page 8: Vpi meeting aug 2013

Advising options

0Colleges could require all students to see an advisor prior to registering for courses

0Students could be required to do a secondary assessment (i.e. transcript evaluation, department writing sample, Write Placer, re-take Accuplacer) to determine current skills and a recommended placement

Additional assessment

0Based on additional information advise students:0 Into any 100 level course without further support, 0 Into a 100 level course with co-requisite support, or0 Into the CCR 092 course

0Students can then make an informed choice about their enrollment

0While you can influence that choice through solid advising, you cannot require them to take CCR courses
