Basic English (remedial)

The College offers two non-credit pre-collegiate remediation courses of study – one in English and one in Mathematics for applicants who show sufficient promise for academic success at ECMIT, but who are judged to be deficient in their achievement and readiness to begin collegiate studies. Such applicants for admission will be granted provisional admission to ECMIT. Full admission will be contingent upon the successful completion of the prescribed remedial requirements in one or both of these courses. Applicants who, in the judgment of the Manager of Admissions or based upon the results of required placement testing, lack significant potential to succeed in the remedial and regular program at ECMIT will be denied provisional admission.
Students granted provisional admission are required to successfully complete one or both of their remedial courses and must pass the exit exams in those courses with a score of 60% or better before they can register for collegiate level courses. Should they fail to do so after one semester of remedial study, those students will be given the opportunity to register for the same remedial course(s) for a second semester. Failure to pass the exit exam of a remedial course after the second attempt will result in academic dismissal from ECMIT.
