EDE/MDE/ESL

Course Credits

Developmental courses (MDE 10, MDE 60, EDE 10, ESL 41, and ESL 42) will not count toward meeting graduation requirements and will not transfer to four-year institutions. Each developmental course carries three credits for the purpose of tuition payment.

Co-requisite courses (MDE 54; MDE 61; EDE 11; and ESL 95) will not count toward graduation requirements and will not transfer to four-year institutions. Each co-requisite course carries three credits for the purpose of tuition payment. 

Grades

Developmental course grades are not included in a student’s semester or cumulative grade point average (GPA). The state limits enrollment in any one developmental course to two semesters. See Course Repeat Policy.

Letter Grade Grade Point
S - Satisfactory Awarded for satisfactory completion of each developmental course (MDE 10, MDE 60, EDE 10 or ESL courses)
U - Unsatisfactory Awarded for unsatisfactory progress in developmental courses (MDE 10, MDE 60, EDE 10 or ESL courses). Students who receive a grade of "U" should consult with their instructor and an academic advisor prior to re-enrolling in the same developmental course.
W - Withdrawal No grade point credit (a grade of withdrawal implies that the student was making satisfactory progress in the course at the time of the student's withdrawal).
