Roane State reviews each student’s academic strengths and weaknesses in the areas of mathematics, reading, and writing based upon valid ACT or ACCUPLACER subject test scores. Learning support provides a means of improving an entering student’s skills to the level necessary for college courses. Students entering with a high school GPA of 3.6 or above are exempt from Learning Support requirements.
The Learning Support Placement Chart shows which, if any, learning support co-requisite courses will be required in addition to college-level courses.
Taking the ACCUPLACER For math, reading, or writing learning support will allow students the opportunity to test out of all or part of their learning support classes. Students who wish to take the ACCUPLACER must do so prior to taking the learning support class.
ACCUPLACER tests are not available to students who have unsuccessfully attempted ENGL 0510, MATH 0530, MATH 0010, MATH 0130, or READ 0562 or students registered in a TN eCampus course. The test is designed to assess a student's abilities in the material that is covered within each course. No course credit will be given for testing out of any portion of learning support.
Learning support diagnostic exams are available only through the Testing Centers. See the test schedules:
The Learning Center and the Learning Center Online are two great sources for a little extra help. The Learning Center is available to all students free of charge. If you need help understanding your assignment or course content, tutors are available. The Learning Center Online is listed on your Momentum page with your current semester's courses.
