The Academic Development Program provides students with instruction in basic skills (reading, mathematics, writing) at the remedial and developmental levels and study skills at the developmental level. Enrollment in these classes may be required by the University before a student is allowed to enroll in college-level classes.

Based upon ACT scores and test scores from the COMPASS/ASSET, students may be required to enroll in one or more classes at the pre-college (remedial/developmental) level. Students needing Academic Development Program (ADP) courses must enroll in and satisfactorily complete those courses during the initial term(s) of enrollment. Students needing ADP reading courses may not enroll in courses that have an excessive amount of reading, such as: history, psychology, sociology, etc. Students needing ADP math may not enroll in chemistry classes. Students may concurrently enroll in college-level courses which do not require pre-requisite ADP skills. Class attendance is mandatory. Students placed and enrolled in an ADP class are not permitted to withdraw except for serious circumstances and with the permission of the program director. A grade of 'C' or higher is required for progression to the next level. Students who fail to meet course exit criteria after one attempt will be placed on academic probation. Students on probation who fail to meet course exit criteria after a second attempt will be suspended and denied admission to the institution for a minimum of one term. The summer term may not be counted as the term of suspension.

The ADP 080 Study Skills course is required for students in two remedial level or three developmental and/or remedial level courses. All students taking two or more developmental courses are required to take UNIV 105. All new freshmen with a high school core grade point average below 3.0 are required to take UNIV 105.
