		CURRICULAR DEFICIENCIES POLICY

Students lacking curricular requirements are admissible into associate of arts,
associate of science, associate of applied science programs, and certificate
programs.

Students in associate of arts and associate of science programs must remediate
curricular deficiencies at the earliest possible time but within the first 24
hours attempted or have all subsequent enrollments restricted to deficiency
removal courses until all deficiencies are removed.

Students entering the associate in applied science or certificate programs must
remove curricular requirements deficiencies before taking courses in the same
field as part of the associate in applied science degree or certificate
program.

Students admitted under this provision may not transfer into associate of arts
or associate of science programs without first completing the high school
curricular deficiencies. Students must remove curricular deficiencies in a
discipline area before taking collegiate level work in that discipline.

Any student can demonstrate proficiency at any time during the semester to
receive an "S" and have the deficiency removed. The procedures for removing
deficiencies in the five basic skill areas are as follows:

Deficiencies in English Are Removed

1. By presenting the appropriate ACT English sub-score, or

2. By scoring at the appropriate level on the COMPASS writing skills test, or

3. By passing the college composition test of the College Level Examination
   Program (CLEP), or

4. By completing English Fundamentals with a grade of "S".

Deficiencies in Science Are Removed

1. By presenting the appropriate ACT science sub-score, or

2. By scoring at the appropriate level on the COMPASS reading skill test, or

3. By passing a science subject test of the College Level Examination Program
   (CLEP), or

4. Through successful completion of Developmental Reading III.

Deficiencies in Mathematics Are Removed

1. By presenting the appropriate ACT math sub-score, or

2. By scoring at the appropriate level on the COMPASS mathematics skills test,
   or

3. By passing the math subject test of the College Level Examination Program
   (CLEP), or

4. By completing Intermediate Algebra with a grade of "S".

Deficiencies in Reading Are Removed

secondary institutional reading assessment instrument may be admitted as
regular admission students. These students will be required to complete an
additional three-hour collegiate history course to make up the high school
deficiency.

Students with a deficiency in a non-basic skills course (excludes English,
mathematics, and science) who present an ACT reading subscore at or above the
specified level or who score at the designated level on any approved secondary
institutional reading assessment instrument may be admitted as a regular
admission student. These students will be required to complete an additional
