In January 1986, the Virginia State Board for Community Colleges and the State Council of Higher Education undertook a joint study of postsecondary remedial education. The purposes of the study were to: (1) define the minimum levels of competence required of a student wishing to do college-level work for degree credit; (2) develop methods and criteria for assessing how much students are learning in remedial programs and how successful they are in degree credit work after remediation is complete; and (3) propose procedures by which even more of the remedial work done in the Virginia system of higher education can be undertaken by the community colleges. The study report is divided into sections addressing these three purposes. Section 1 considers minimum competency levels in terms of mandatory student assessment; establishes minimum levels of competence in writing, reading, mathematics; and discusses levels of instruction, options for assessment procedures, enrollment in remedial and other courses, enrollment limits, and class size. Section 2 offers recommendations for assessing the effectiveness of remediation in terms of student learning and student success in degree-credit work. Section 3 proposes procedures whereby the community college system can take on more of the remedial work provided in Virginia higher education. (EJV)
