Basic Skills Program

Joanne Juedes and Student In Academic Skills Lab

The courses in the Basic Skills program will prepare you for university work by improving your
English and math skills. They are especially helpful if you have been out of school for some time,
or if math or English have been a challenge throughout high school.

Your placement test scores will indicate if you need to take basic skills courses. Scores of 454
or below on the English placement test and below 479 in Algebra indicate that you must enroll in the
Basic Skills classes. These courses carry three non-degree credits, meaning the three credits will not
transfer or count as credits toward your degree.

Basic skills classes offered both in the fall and in the spring semesters are:
English -- 098 Basics of Composition and 099 Basic Writing Skills
Math -- 090 Basic Mathematics and 091 Elementary Algebra
