Our nationally-recognized Developmental Education programs will get you started on your academic journey in a fraction of the time!
At CCBC, we understand that each student learns differently. When you become a student, our advisors will work with you to determine your needs for math and English. In some cases, students will take Developmental Education courses in English and math to prep them for college-level learning.
The Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) is designed to improve student success. Under ALP, students whose placement is ACLT 053 enroll in designated sections of ENG 101.
These sections will be composed of ten ALP students and ten students whose placement is ENG 101. In addition, the same ten ALP students will be enrolled in a designated section of ACLT 053 taught by the same instructor, which we call a companion course.
The Accelerated Math Program (AMP) takes two consecutive courses and combines the content so students can complete both courses in one semester. As long as students meet the prerequisites for the lower level, they can register for the AMP course pair without restrictions.
Students who enroll in an AMP course pair are more likely to complete their mathematics requirement and complete their educational goals.
Despite being independent in terms of schedule, grades and transcripts, students attend a six-hour per week course that spans a topic from the lower level to the higher level.
Any student who places into the lower-level course (MATH 081, 082 or 083) may enroll in the AMP course pair. Students must register for both classes. For example, if your MATH placement is MATH 083, you are eligible to enroll in the MATH 083/163 AMP course pair and must register for both sections.
You can register in-person or online, as you would for traditional mathematics classes. AMP courses appear on the college class schedule. Make sure to add both course registration numbers (CRN) to your schedule when registering for the semester.
