CT SB00040

Starting fall 2014, public institutions of higher education must offer remedial support embedded within corresponding entry-level college courses for students likely to succeed with supplemental assistance, as determined by multiple accepted skill level measures.

Students determined to be below college-level skill requirements must complete an intensive college readiness program before fall 2014, developed by the Board of Regents for Higher Education in consultation with Connecticut's P-20 Council.

Starting fall 2014, public institutions may only offer non-embedded remedial support for a maximum of one semester and only if approved by the Board of Regents for Higher Education.

By fall 2016, public high schools and institutions of higher education must align curricula so successful completion of Connecticut Common Core State Standards in mathematics and language arts indicates college readiness.

By July 1, 2014, public institutions of higher education must work with schools to assess 8th and 10th grade students for college readiness potential and share results with students, parents, and schools.
