PROCEDURE:

Skills Competency and Related Courses:

All newly admitted freshmen or transfer students with 15 or fewer credits are required to fulfill the University’s competency requirement. A student whose SAT/ACT scores fall below certain cutoff scores are placed into one or more FRST courses. These courses are FRST 1101 -- College Writing, FRST1002 -- Readings, FRST 1100 -- Developmental Mathematics, and FRST 1103 -- Quantitative Reasoning. Enrollment in these courses is mandatory, and students must enroll in their required FRST courses during their first semester. However, in consultation with their preceptors, many first-year students take one or more other courses in addition to these FRST courses.
