  1. Gateway course success Gateway not “gatekeeper”

  2. Too many entering freshmen need remediation. KNOW THIS 51.7% of those entering a 2-year college enrolled in remediation 19.9% of those entering a 4-year college enrolled in remediation Source: Fall 2006 cohorts

  3. If you’re African American, Hispanic, or a low-income student, you’re more likely to be headed toward the remediation dead end. Source: Fall 2006 cohorts

  4. Most remedial students don’t make it through college-level gateway courses. KNOW THIS Source: Fall 2006 cohorts

  5. Most remedial students never graduate. KNOW THIS Source: Completion data: fall 2006 cohorts; graduation data: 2-year, fall 2004 cohorts; 4-year, fall 2002 cohorts

  6. Gateway course completion is a significant benchmark • The default placement should be a gateway course. • Students needing support should receive it in the gateway course as co-requisite rather than pre-requisite support. • Students should take the “right” math that aligns with their program: Statistics, Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra

  7. Start students in college courses and provide needed help as a co-requisite, not a prerequisite. For students • with few academic deficiencies: place them in gateway courses with co-requisite support built-in. • needing more help: provide the gateway course stretched over two semesters instead of one. • with substantial academic deficiencies: provide alternate pathways to high-quality career certificates with embedded remediation.

  8. In a new model students may fail. But if we continue doing what we are doing – they will fail.
