Learning Support Information

  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 that would benefit from additional support in Math or English called Learning Support. 

  Learning Support courses are 1-hour credit courses which prepare students to be successful in their required ENGL, MATH and/or STAT courses. The co-requisite courses must be taken in conjunction with a specified credit level course. Keep reading for more information on Learning Support requirements and how to satisfy or be exempted from them.

Incoming students are evaluated using the following:

• High School GPA
• SAT and/or ACT Scores (if submitted)
• Transfer Credits
  • Transfer GPA is NOT considered.

Please contact your degree advisor for more information on your Learning Support requirements and to secure overrides into Learning Support courses. Your degree advisor will assist you in choosing the best option for you and your degree plan.

• What is a Learning Support Hold?

  Students who fail to meet their Learning Support requirements at the end of any term will receive a hold on their registration and must meet with an academic advisor to discuss enrollment in Learning Support for the next term.

  Once a student has earned over 30 credit hours at Kennesaw State University without having met their Learning Support requirement, they will not be eligible to enroll in any other coursework until Learning Support has been satisfied or exempted.

  Types of Holds

  • LE: Learning Support English
  • LM: Learning Support Math
  • LS: Learning Support Co-Requisite
  • LR: Learning Support Reading

  Contact your academic advisor for any additional questions on holds.
