1 TITLE 135 PROCEDURAL RULE WEST VIRGINIA COUNCIL FOR COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGE EDUCATION SERIES 21 FRESHMAN ASSESSMENT AND PLACEMENT STANDARDS General Scope. This policy establishes freshman assessment and placement standards for institutions in assignment to initial credit-bearing courses in mathematics and English Authority. West Virginia Code 18B-2B Filing Date. October 20, Effective Date. November 29, Repeal of Former Rule. -- Repeals and replaces Title 135, Series 21 which had an effective date of November 29, Policy The policy, Freshman Assessment and Placement Standards, for students in West Virginia public colleges and universities was developed to assure the integrity of associate degrees, and baccalaureate degrees, and certificate programs to increase the retention and graduation rates of students, and to encourage high school students to improve their academic preparation for college. The standards for freshman assessment and placement are designed to establish uniform procedures for the placement of students in credit-bearing courses in mathematics and English that can be applied toward an undergraduate academic degree Degree-seeking students in West Virginia public colleges and universities must demonstrate that they possess the minimum academic skills essential for success in their chosen program of study. Academic skill proficiency in mathematics, writing and reading is demonstrated by meeting established placement standards in mathematics, writing and reading. Students not satisfactorily demonstrating these skills must remediate deficiencies through successful completion of specific developmental education courses, co-requisite courses or other entry-level college credit courses that provide supplementary academic support programs or services Full or part-time degree-seeking students identified as requiring remediation must enroll in the required developmental education courses, co-requisite courses or other entry-level college courses with supplementary academic support services in the first term/semester of enrollment Non-degree seeking students are exempt from these requirements. However, non-degree-
2 seeking students who change their academic status to degree-seeking are then subject to the developmental education placement standards and first-term enrollment policies provided in this policy. Based on federal Title IV regulations, non-degree seeking students are not eligible to participate in federal financial aid programs All students must meet pre-requisites for college-level credit courses for which they wish to enroll Beginning with the academic year, the results of the comprehensive statewide assessment in grade 11 in English/Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics shall be used to determine if the high school student has met college and career readiness standards and is exempt from developmental education placement. If the student scores an achievement Level 3 in ELA and math on the West Virginia General Summative Assessment, that student is exempt from developmental education placement in West Virginia public higher education institutions Definitions Developmental Education. 3.1.a. Developmental education programs and services commonly address academic preparedness, diagnostic assessment and placements, development of general and discipline-specific learning strategies, and affective barriers to learning. When the course is offered as a discrete course, the developmental education course is a Developmental courses are pre-college courses and does not count toward a baccalaureate degree, an A.A. degree, an A.S. degree, or an A.A.S. degree or a certificate program. If the developmental skill deficiencies are addressed through an embedded or corequisite approach with a college-level entry course, the student can receive college credit for the course which will count toward graduation. 3.1.b. Strategies to address developmental skill deficiencies include Developmental education includes, but is are not limited to all forms of learning assistance, such as tutoring, mentoring, and supplemental instruction; personal, academic, and career counseling; academic advisement; and coursework Stretch Courses. Stretch courses are credit-bearing courses that extend over one or two semesters, to give more time to those students who may need additional experience in college-level mathematics or writing. Stretch courses are designed for English or math students who are capable, but who might need more time. Course materials are the same as those in the traditional course, but additional activities, tutorials, etc. are provided in an extended delivery format Co-requisite Courses. 3.2.a. Co-requisite courses are credit-bearing courses that provide aligned academic support for the entry-level credit bearing course and are required as a component of the entry-level course. Co-requisite courses are designed for students who did not meet admission requirements for entry
3 level math or English courses. Course content is the same as the traditional credit-bearing course but additional required attendance/instruction and/or participation in academic support structures is required for successful completion of the course. Stretch courses are one example of co-requisite course delivery Academic Support Programs 3.3.a. Academic support programs include, but are not limited to, modular course delivery; summer boot camps; extra class sessions; accelerated learning program (ALP) model; paired courses, supplemental instruction; additional lab instruction; tutoring; and/or other instructional strategies which provide additional in-class or outside-class assistance and monitoring of student progress beyond that usually associated with entry-level college credit courses Mathematics Placement Standards Students may not enroll at any two-year or four-year institution in West Virginia public colleges and universities in a mathematics course without required academic support which is designed to be applied toward a baccalaureate degree, an associate of arts (A.A.) degree, an associate of science (A.S.), an associate of applied science (A.A.S.) degree at a four-year college or university or an A.A., A.S. or A.A.S. degree or certificate program at a community college unless the minimum score prescribed below is earned on one of the following tests assessments: 4.1.a.

Institutions may require students who do not meet the standard to complete such courses at another institution or design equivalent coursework, such as stretch courses, or programs with approval of the Higher Education Policy Commission Chancellor, as a pre-requisite to freshman placement. Students not meeting one of these standards must successfully complete required remediation. Institutions may require students who do not meet the standards to complete such courses at another institution or may design equivalent co-requisite coursework. Students with an ACT math score of 18 or below (or SAT equivalent below 460) are placed into college-level, credit- bearing courses with required academic support. Such courses could include a stretch course, a co-requisite course, an ALP class or other embedded course delivery. Baccalaureate institutions may place students in this placement range into other programs with the approval of the Higher Education Policy Commission Chancellor. Community and technical college institutions may place students in this placement range into other programs with the approval of the Community and Technical College System Chancellor A transfer student who has successfully completed the developmental course or its equivalent, or other college-level course that has met the developmental education deficiency per course design, may enroll in a credit-bearing course in mathematics or transfer to another West Virginia state college or university and shall be deemed to have met the placement standard at the receiving institution and shall not be required to enroll in a developmental course or its equivalent at a West Virginia state college or university in mathematics. The assessment measure and score by which the student met the placement standard in mathematics shall be recorded on the student s transcript Based on WorkKeys profile requirements or other specific career skill requirements, institutions shall establish appropriate minimum placement standards for students enrolling in college-level mathematics courses required in specifically identified degree or certificate programs.

Other assessments or end-of-course exams in English/language arts as approved by the West Virginia Board of Education and/or the Chancellor Students not meeting this standards must successfully complete a program or programs in developmental (pre-college level) English composition in order to be placed in English composition courses which count toward a baccalaureate degree, an A.A. degree, an A.S. degree, or an A.A.S. degree. Institutions may require students who do not meet the standard to complete such courses at another institution or design equivalent coursework, such as stretch courses, or programs with approval of the Higher Education Policy Commission Chancellor as a pre-requisite to freshman placement. Students not meeting one of these standards must successfully complete required remediation. Institutions may require students who do not meet the standards to complete such courses at another institution or design equivalent co-requisite course work. Students with the ACT English score of 17 or below (or SAT equivalent score of 440 or below) are placed into college-level, credit bearing courses with required academic support. Such courses could include stretch courses, co-requisite courses, ALP or other embedded course delivery. Baccalaureate institutions may place students into other programs with approval from the Higher Education Policy Commission Chancellor. Community and Technical College institutions may place students into other programs with the approval of the Community and Technical College System Chancellor A transfer student who has successfully completed the developmental course or its equivalent, or other college-level course that has met the developmental education deficiency per course design may enroll in a credit-bearing course in English or transfer to another West Virginia state college or university and shall be deemed to have met the placement standard at the receiving institution and shall not be required to enroll in a developmental course or its equivalent at a West Virginia state college or university in English. The assessment measure and score by which the student met the placement standard in English shall be recorded on the student s transcript Based on WorkKeys profile requirements or other specific career skill requirements,
6 institutions shall establish appropriate minimum placement standards for students enrolling in college-level mathematics courses required in specifically identified degree or certificate programs. Students not meeting the minimum placement standard established by the institution must successfully complete required developmental (pre-college level) mathematics assistance programs. However, such students may also be placed in college-level mathematics courses required in for the degree program that provide additional academic support programs to remediate the academic deficiency Reading Students scoring 17 on the reading section of the ACT, 420 or above on the verbal section of the SAT-1, 36 on the reading skills test of the ASSET, 30 percentile above on the Nelson-Denny Reading Test, 75 on the reading test of the American College Testing Programs Computerized Adaptive Placement Assessment and Support System (COMPASS), or 79 on the Reading Comprehensive test of the College Board s ACCUPLACER Testing System will be considered to have met minimal reading skill requirements at those institutions which have developmental programs in reading Institutions in the state higher education system are encouraged to provide assistance for students who do not meet the standard and who are enrolled in a program leading to an associate or bachelor's degree A student having met the placement standard in reading or transfer who transfers to another West Virginia state college or university shall be deemed to have met the placement standard at the receiving institution and shall not be required to enroll in a developmental course in reading. The assessment measure and score by which the student met the placement standard in reading shall be recorded on the student s transcript Determination of Placement In the event that a student has acquired placement scores via multiple assessments, the highest score(s) attained by the student is the score that guides the decision regarding developmental placement. For example, if the student s ACT score does not exempt the student from developmental education placement but the student scores a Level 3 on the West Virginia General Summative Assessment, that student is exempt from developmental education placement in any form Students may be exempt from developmental education placement in any form if the student achieves the minimum required score on any of the approved assessment measures identified in Sections 4, 5, and 6 of this policy Institutions may utilize diagnostic testing to determine specific area(s) of weakness so that the student s specific area(s) of weakness can be remediated rather than requiring that student to complete an entire course Institutions shall develop and implement developmental education delivery strategies that
7 allow students to progress through college-level, credit-bearing courses in the first year of enrollment at the institution. These strategies may include, but are not limited to, stretch courses, co-requisite courses, co-requisite required course tutoring and assistance or other such academic support structure Each post-secondary institution shall file its policy on student academic placement for developmental education deficiencies with the Chancellor s office The Compass test system and affiliated tests (Asset, Windows Compass, ecompass, Compass 5.0) is to be retired in the 2016 calendar year. However, a student s Compass scores are to be accepted by the institution into the future for as long a period of time as is acceptable by institutional policy.
