Learning Support
Being enrolled in Learning Support paired courses is your opportunity to develop a stronger belief in your abilities as well as a greater understanding of the material through additional help, practice, and improvement strategies.
Having a Growth Mindset Matters!
Students who adopt a growth versus a fixed mindset about their academic endeavors:
- believe they can get better;
- become active participants in their education;
- learn from their mistakes;
- face their challenges;
- ask for help;
- engage in practice;
- evaluate themselves on effort as much as on grades;
- never quit.
The University System of Georgia Model
Students who have Learning Support requirements in English and/or Math will be enrolled in Corequisite instruction.
Corequisite instruction means that students are in a credit-bearing (college-level) English and/or Math course, plus a required support course – two courses in the same semester. These courses must be taken the student’s first term of enrollment.
Support courses assist students in enhancing their skills by providing additional instruction as well as low-stakes testing opportunities. They are designed to improve students' understanding and performance in the credit-bearing course. The Support course is students' safe space to make and learn from mistakes.
Upon satisfactory completion of the credit-bearing course, students will have earned college-level credit for English and/or Math, as well as satisfied the Learning Support requirement.
Students who place into Learning Support based on their HS GPA and/or SAT or ACT scores may attempt to test out by taking the Accuplacer Placement test. Those students will have the appropriate test requirements posted in their Banner account, with a link to the testing information on their Check Your Status page.
