The University of North Carolina Remedial/Developmental Activities Report, 2011-12
University of North Carolina General Administration
Remedial and developmental courses and services at the University of North Carolina (UNC) are designed to address differences in pre-college preparation among our diverse student body. Often the instruction aims to address gaps in knowledge ("remediation") and provide students with the skills needed for continued learning and college success ("developmental"). These efforts occur in traditional classroom settings and through additional delivery methods that vary both within and among the campuses. Other delivery methods include scheduled classes, additional break-out sessions, skill labs, and special tutorial sessions. Remedial instruction occurs at a greater frequency in the fall and is provided to incoming students. In this report, four measures around remediation are provided: course sections, enrollments (duplicated and unduplicated), expenditures for all remedial activities (classroom and alternate delivery methods), and continued student success (retention and graduation rates of freshmen who took remedial courses). Total expenditures include both the costs of the actual course delivery and related academic support services. UNC found that there was a continued decline in remedial/developmental activity throughout the university system.
