Remedial/Developmental Enrollments, Summer and Fall 1999.
Nevada Univ. and Community Coll. System, Reno. Office of the Chancellor.
In keeping with 1997 Nevada legislation, the University and Community College System of Nevada (UCCSN) provides to the school districts of the state information about enrollments in remedial courses within the UCCSN and the costs associated with providing that instruction. Although remedial courses are provided to both recent high school graduates (those who graduated between September 1998 and August 1999 for the purposes of this report) and to a significant number of older, returning students, this report focuses exclusively on the experiences of the recent high school graduates. The UCCSN policy for placement of students into appropriate English courses is first provided. There is no uniform policy for placing students into remedial math courses. Tables present data for each of the 18 school districts in the following areas: (1) number of students, student credit hours, and total costs for enrollment in remedial courses; (2) remedial courses taken, by school district and college or university attended; and (3) the percentage of graduates in UCCSN that are enrolled in remedial courses. Overall, 26.1% of recent Nevada high school graduates enrolled in UCCSN are enrolled in at least one remedial course (unduplicated headcount), and recent high school graduates comprise 19.6% of all UCCSN students in remedial courses.
