*The Academic Foundations program is designed to provide assistance to students who need work in math, reading, and/or writing. The courses in this program are considered semester hours but do not carry college credit.

Students whose test scores indicate the need to take Academic Foundations courses must take these courses before registering for any college level courses (100 level and above.)
