The purpose of the Developmental Studies program is to provide an educationalopportunity for students to increase their foundation skills in preparation for regularcurriculum courses. Pre-curriculum courses are designed to provide individualized andgroup instruction in the areas of reading, standard written English, and mathematics.These courses are required of students who do not achieve minimum scores on one ormore sections of the college placement test and recommended to students on probationor suspension. Also, curriculum students who made a sufficient score on the collegeplacement test but who desire to sharpen their skills for regular curriculum composition ormath courses may choose to take developmental course work. The college placement testresults determine the pre-curriculum course areas and levels appropriate for students.Preferably, course work should be taken prior to, or concurrently with, first-year curriculumstudies to avoid extending the total time for graduation.

It is up to each student to make herown decision regarding the declaration of the pregnancy. In all cases, this institutionrequires that radiation doses to the student and to the unborn child shall be maintained "AsLow As Reasonably Achievable" (ALARA).

Further information regarding student pregnancy may be found in the RadiographyStudent Policy Manual.
