10. GPS and RISE Developmental Education reform cannot happen in a vacuum.
It’s vital to know:
What
pathway a student is on
And
ensure the math and English courses they take connect to their program of study and their career goals

15. Changes in Developmental Studies
New for Spring 2019
Fall 2018
Last semester for DMA’s and DRE’s for the pilot colleges
NCDAP will no longer be used at the pilot colleges
Students will be advised using multiple measures such as unweighted HSGPAs, SAT, ACT, CCRG, GED scores (using the GED scores is new)
If a student has a HSGPA within the last 10 years, the student will be placed based on unweighted HSGPA in 3 different areas:
curriculum course without a co-requisite
curriculum course with a co-requisite
transition center
If a student’s HSGPA is more than 10 years old, the student will be required to take the NROC Placement test in math and English

27. Why Corequisite Remediation?
Too many students end up in traditional remediation, and success is unlikely once they get there.*
1 in 3 recent high school graduates – those who should be most prepared for college – end up in remediation
56% of African American students, 45% of Hispanic students and 35% of White students are placed into remediation
55% of Pell grant recipients are placed into remediation
Nationally, just 20% of remedial students in community college go on to complete the associated introductory (gateway) course within 2 years
