Low Assessment Scores
Students entering with academic deficiencies or low assessment scores may be admitted on probation and will be required to enroll in developmental or other programs designated by Richland College.
If you fail a section of the TASP, QuickTASP or college alternate assessment, you must enroll and actively participate in developmental courses related to the failed area(s) or be dropped from college-level courses.
Richland College Instructional Vice President may exempt you from this requirement under limited circumstances (Concurrently enrolled high school students will not be mandated to take developmental courses while in high school.) You must continue to participate in mandated developmental coursework until:
- You pass the failed section of TASP or QuickTASP test, (please note that Richland College alternate assessment cannot be used for retesting purposes), or
- You have completed the developmental coursework required, at which time Richland College may release you from such coursework. Richland College is not required to release you from further developmental coursework.
