Linguistic Diversity Bridge Program
All domestic and international admits without college‐level transfer credit are subject to placement testing in English, Reading, and Mathematics prior to initial course registration with limited exceptions (see sections regarding Placement Exams on page 45 and Developmental Programs on page 121). Students not producing college‐ready scores in Reading and Writing are enrolled in the Developmental Program or, in the case of non‐ native speakers of English, a Bridge Program specifically designed for linguistically diverse students. In the initial semester of the Bridge Program, students will enroll in 6 selected college credit hours along with 6 noncredit hours to improve reading and writing skills. Depending on the results of subsequent placement testing, students will continue in the Bridge Program with select college‐level courses through the semester following. After successfully completing the Bridge Program and followed by the Developmental Program in Reading and Writing, if applicable, or through a qualifying score on an approved assessment, the student may enroll full time in college‐level courses. Students may at any time produce a score from an approved assessment documenting college‐ readiness in Reading and Writing.
This program consists of the following Writing and Reading courses, with placement determined by approved assessment:
