CCBC asseses all incoming students for college readiness in both math and English. For English, students will be placed in either ACLT 053 or ENG 101. ACLT 053 is a foundational class to be taken with English 101. This support class provides intensive instruction in critical thinking, reading and writing.
Our Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) is designed to improve the percentage of students who pass ACLT 053 and ENG 101. Under ALP, students whose placement is ACLT 053 enroll in designated sections of ENG 101 to aid student success and learning.
