Students who anticipate completing their work during the following summer are eligible to participate in commencement exercises if a grade point average is sufficient for graduation and an Intent to Graduate has been officially processed by the spring deadline. Due to the early printing date of the program, academic honors are based on the previous term GPA. Fall graduates will be invited to attend the following spring exercises. Participation in the ceremony is optional, but strongly encouraged. Students will be sent ceremony information in April. DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES POLICIES AND GUIDELINES* BASIC SKILLS ASSESSMENT In an effort to provide more effective educational services for students, the college participates in the Board of Regents’ Developmental Studies assessment program to assess basic skills. Placement is based on valid ACT or Compass scores. (See #3 on page 27.) Through this assessment, Roane State can identify the students’ academic strengths and weaknesses in reading, writing, and mathematics skills. This information is used along with the student’s past educational history to provide advisement and placement in courses that best help the individual student to improve skills in these areas, as well as study skills. All Tennessee State Board of Regents colleges and universities require that all first time degree-seeking students undergo assessment. Transfer students who have not successfully completed college-level reading, writing, and mathematics courses must also undergo assessment. Further information regarding basic skills assessment can be obtained by contacting Counseling and Career Services on the Roane County or Oak Ridge campuses. RESTRICTED ENROLLMENT Students whose assessment results require enrollment in Developmental Studies (DSP) courses may not enroll in a regular college level course which requires that competency as a pre-requisite until they have satisfactorily met the exit criteria of the appropriate DSP courses. Exceptions to this policy require the approval of the DSP director and completion of the related documentation. College Level Courses Which Can Be Taken With Developmental Studies Courses: The following college courses may be taken by developmental studies students concurrently with their developmental courses. DSP Course Required Courses that can also be taken DSPM 0800 or 0850 (Algebra) Any course without math prerequisites The only math courses that can be taken are BUS 111 or 112. DSPW 0700 or 0800 (Writing) Any course other than English DSPR 0700 or 0800 (Reading) Students should check with their advisor or the DSP Office for courses that can be taken along with this requirement.

Beyond this mandatory placement, students with a deficiency have the option to elect placement in College Success Strategies. Course enrollment is limited to students in these categories. ATTENDANCE IN DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES COURSES The Developmental Studies Program is required by the TBR to have a mandatory attendance policy. Students enrolled in DSP courses are expected to attend all scheduled classes if at all possible. In the case of absences, students should work closely with their instructor regarding any work missed. Instructors must define the specifics of their attendance policies including any penalty for excessive absences. Questions regarding this matter should be directed to the DSP director. *NOTE: The Developmental Studies program policies and procedures were under review at the time this catalog was being printed. Changes may be necessary that would invalidate statements in the catalog; therefore, students should check with Counseling and Career Services or the Developmental Studies Program Office for additional information.
