IS THE ELM AND/OR EPT
REQUIRED FOR ALL NEW STUDENTS?
All newly admitted Undergraduates
and Sec Bacc students must take the ELM and/or the EPT before the start of
their first semester if they have not completed one of the
following:
- Students who have SAT scores of Verbal 550+ / Math 550+
- Students who have completed their Written Communication (WC) and/or Quantitative Reasoning (QR) with a "C" grade or better
- Students who have a department waiver
WHAT ARE THE
REMEDIATION CLASSES THAT MUST BE TAKEN? Beginning with the March 23rd, 2002 exam, a new scoring system
went into effect for ELM. Your course requirements will depend on when you
took the ELM exam (see charts below).
That will depend on your
test scores. Listed below are the required classes associated with the
possible test scores:

WILL THE REGISTRAR’S OFFICE DIS-ENROLL NON-COMPLIANT
EPT AND/OR ELM STUDENTS?
Yes.....We will dis-enroll non-compliant
first-time Freshman during the second week of instruction. We place future
registration holds for non-compliant transfer students.
DO ALL ESL STUDENTS WHO TAKE THE ESLPT HAVE TO TAKE
THE EPT?
Yes....Although ESL students may not have to take regular
remediation courses, the ESL Office does track for remediation compliance
and place their students in the appropriate ESL courses.
HOW LONG DO STUDENTS HAVE TO FINISH THEIR
REMEDIATION?
All remediation students (including ESL) have one
year to complete their required courses.
Example: Fall 2000 admits have until the end of Spring 2001 to complete remediation. Those who take courses during the Summer 2001 (grace period) will not be able to register until they show us proof of completion with a "C" or better English 50 & 115 , a "C" or better in Eng 208 (ESL) and a "C-" or better in Math 70.
Return to TopARE WE GOING TO ALLOW NON-COMPLAINT REMEDIATION
STUDENTS TO CONTINUE ON AFTER THE ALLOTTED ONE YEAR?
No.....We
will not allow students to register for classes in the future if they do
not complete the required remedial courses.
Example: Fall 1999 Admits have one year from the semester of admittance to complete remediation, which is until the end of the Spring 2000 semester. If they aren’t finished by the end of Spring 2000, we will place a registration hold on their file an d they must take their remedial courses during the Summer 2000 (grace period) and show proof of completion to the Registrar’s Office, (SS 101) before they can Touch-Tone register and/or attend classes for Fall 2000.
Note: These students can also attend another college in the Fall 2000 and return in Spring 2001 if they show proof of their remediation completion.
Return to TopCAN REMEDIATION STUDENTS KEEP THEIR CONTINUING STUDENT
STATUS UNTIL THEY FINISH THEIR REMEDIATION?
Students need to
complete their remediation courses within one year of their admittance
into SFSU. It they are not finished within the allotted time, they must
attend our SFSU Summer Semester, another college or SFSU's College of
Extended Learning/O pen University.
Note: All students who miss two semesters in a row will have to re-apply for admission to the University.
Return to TopIF I TAKE A QUANTITATIVE REASONING OR A WRITTEN
COMMUNICATION COURSE AT ANOTHER INSTITUTION WHILE ATTENDING SFSU, WILL
THIS CLEAR REMEDIATION?
Yes. If you take a Quantitative Reasoning
course at another institution and receive a "D-" or better (as a
continuing student) this will clear math remediation status. For Written
Communication, a grade of "C" or better will clear English remediation.
You must submit an official transcript with the graded courses to have
your remediation status cleared.
