Remedial College Courses Could be Cut

In an effort to save students’ time and money, a bill in the state legislature proposes a total overhaul of remedial courses for struggling students.

Instead of offering remedial courses – which give no credit – NBC Connecticut reports that remedial skills would be “embedded” into the course through tutoring, labs or additional class work.

Some nearby schools that would be affected by the bill – which will go into effect in 2014 if passed – are Southern Connecticut State University, Gateway Community College, Middlesex Community College and Naugatuck Valley Community College.
