This is not a course for which students are normally registered. The course should not appear in the course schedule. This individualized assignment is the mechanism ACC has for handling students who are TASP-mandated for remediation in mathematics and who, for some legitimate reason, do not wind up registered or do not maintain their registration in the a developmental mathematics course which would fulfill their TASP-mandation for remediation. In almost all circumstances, this option can be used for only one semester.

Registration: Students can only be registered through the campus-based mathematics NCBR coordinator, who is a mathematics faculty member. The campus coordinators may change from semester to semester. The list of current coordinators will always be available on the math Website at the address at the top of this page.

Course Content: The NCBR coordinator develops an individual assignment for each student enrolled in the course, but this is not normally individualized instruction. The assignment may include attending a class, working with an individual sometimes, and/or working on the computer tutorials, etc. The assignment depends on the assessed needs of the student, so it is not at the same level for all students in the "course". Each student must agree to accept and honor his particular assignment before the student is enrolled in the course.

Completion of Required Remediation: As a general rule, students will not be able to exit remediation from NCBR. If exceptions to this are made, they will be based on the student's performance on tests from the exit-level courses.

Withdrawal: Students who do not work on their individualized assignment in accordance with their agreement, will be withdrawn. A student who withdraws or is withdrawn by the NCBR coordinator from this course will also be dropped from all college credit courses, unless he/she is also in mandatory remediation for reading or writing and is currently enrolled in an appropriate developmental course.

Developmental Mathematics Course Instructors: Early rolls indicate which students are TASP-mandated for remediation in mathematics. Instructors will handle the dropping of students who do not show up at all in the first two weeks of class in the usual way. After that intial drop procedure, instructors who wish to drop TASP-mandated students from a course are asked to fill out the drop slip and send it along with the TASP status contract and any information the instructor has on how to contact the student to the campus NCBR coordinator. The NCBR coordinator will contact the student to see if enrollment in DVM 0101 or 0103 is appropriate and will submit the drop slip for the developmental course instructor. The NCBR coordinator will apprise the instructor of what action has been taken.

It is important that instructors handle these drops in a regular and timely manner, and that instructors not wait until the last day for withdrawal, because there is not time after the last date for withdrawal to go through the required procedure in a reasonable manner.
