So here are the top six reasons to register for the Accuplacer and to get started with developmental classes this summer!
- Be better prepared and/or ready for college level fall/spring classes
- Save time -Taking these courses in the summer and passing them will allow you to enroll in all of your college level work in the Fall term (assuming highest level of developmental courses are taken and passed).
- Save money ? Taking these courses in the shorter summer terms means fewer drives to and from campus.
- Smaller class size means more individualized attention.
- Summer classes meet Monday through Thursday for 2 hours and ten minutes. Shorter semester, more intensive classes †will enhance learning (hard to pass a developmental math class when you only go to class one or two times a week).
- If you just graduated from high school, you are already in the habit of studying.
