Corequisite Learning Support Program

  What is Learning Support?

  At KSU, we understand certain courses may present challenges to students. To better serve our students, we have instituted a process of identifying students who need extra help in English and Mathematics called Learning Support. 

  Learning Support courses are 1-hour credit courses that equip you with the skills you need to excel in ENGL, MATH, or STAT courses. By taking Learning Support alongside your credit-level courses, you'll be set up for success. Please keep reading to discover how you can meet the Learning Support requirements and earn exemptions.

Incoming students are evaluated using the following:

• High School GPA
• SAT and/or ACT Scores, if submitted.
• Transfer Credit
  • Transfer GPA is NOT considered
• College Placement Examination 
  • Next-Generation Accuplacer
  • ALEKS Math Placement

Take charge of your academic journey and contact your degree advisor to lock in your classes and explore your Learning Support needs. Your degree advisor will help you find the perfect fit for your degree path.

• ACCUPLACER

  First-Year and Transfer Students: You can take the ACCUPLACER examination offered through the KSU Testing Center. 

  ACCUPLACER is a comprehensive, computer-based exam used to evaluate students’ skills in math, reading, and writing for the purpose of placement.

  Just a heads up, there is a testing fee, so double-check you have chosen the right exam for your Learning Support requirement(s) before signing up. 

  Test administration fees are as follows:

  • One exam - $15.00
  • Two exams - $25.00
  • Three exams - $30.00

• ALEKS MATH PLACEMENT

  Attention STEM Students: If you have been identified as needing Learning Support for MATH 1001, STAT 1401, or MATH 1111, but you have completed the ALEKS Math Placement Examination and placed into MATH 1113 or a higher-level course, you will NOT be required to take Learning Support for MATH 1001, STAT 1401, or MATH 1111. 

  To be exempt from MATH 1113, a score of 61 or higher is necessary.

• College Credit

  Transfer Students: Ensure all college transcripts have been sent to KSU for evaluation. Courses taken at other institutions that fulfill Core IMPACTS Writing and Mathematics Domain at KSU can exempt you from Learning Support.

  Note: Transfer GPA is not considered by the USG for determining Learning Support placement for transfer students.

  DEP/AP/IB Students: Ensure all college transcripts (DEP), College Board scores (AP), and International Baccalaureate results (IB) have been sent to KSU for evaluation.

• High School GPA
