What is meant by developmental course sequences?

Based on your ACT scores, your high school GPA and grades achieved in Algebra II and Senior English or your ACCUPLACER assessment results, you may be required to take a developmental college preparatory classes along with a tutoring lab (component). 

Mathematics developmental tracks begin with MTH 098 and leads to MTH 100 and beyond.
For some programs, the track begins with MTH 116 (non-transferable track for some select majors).  Use caution when following this track.  MTH 116 does not transfer to a state four year college / university.

English developmental tracks begins with ENR 098 and leads to ENG 101 and beyond.
