Co-Requisites

These corequisite courses are intended to assist students in attaining mastery of rudimentary skills needed for success at the college level. These courses are required for students whose obtained college readiness level (as identified by the criteria outline) indicates a need for skills development in the areas of reading, writing, and/or mathematics.

Corequisite courses may also offer an option for students who desire to review and continue to develop basic educational skills, even though the courses may not be required based on guiding criteria for exemption. The non-credit-bearing corequisite courses do not carry credit hours for transfer, do not calculate into a student’s academic GPA, and cannot be used for graduation purposes

In cases where a student does not earn the minimum required scores or per published University standards, it is required that he/she enroll and attend prescribed paired corequisite courses and remain in those courses until passing test scores are submitted or the corequisite course sequence is completed.

The corequisite sequence intended to support students in acquiring the essential skills needed to succeed at the University. All students, irrespective of their entry Term, are expected to do their utmost best to complete the corequisite and paired credit courses within an 8-week Term. Students may earn a letter grade in the paired courses. If a student withdraws from the corequisite course, they must withdraw from the paired credit-earning course.

Continuing and transfer students must meet identified course prerequisites to register for a math or a statistics course. This may require that the math placement test be completed prior to register for a credit-yielding math or statistics course. See the course placement on this page for a complete list of the courses that may require the math placement test Re-testing

When students do not place in the course they want to take; they are encouraged to retake the placement test. There is no fee to retake a placement test, and students are encouraged to spend time reviewing material from previous courses before retesting.

Students first need to register with Leighton’s Office of Accessibility Services (OAS) for accommodations on placement tests if it has not already been done. For more information on registering with OAS, please visit the Office of Accessibility Service. And for students who have further questions, they should discuss their situation with their Academic Navigator.
