Developmental Courses & Transfer Credit

Developmental Courses
Placement into one of the following courses indicates that a student needs additional preparation before enrolling in college-level work. These courses will not apply toward graduation requirements, but are required for those who place into them and will appear on the student’s transcript.

Preparing for College Reading I (ENGL 091)
Preparing for College Reading II (ENGL 092)
Introductory Writing (ENGL 099)

Fundamentals of Mathematics (MATH 010)
Introductory Algebra (MATH 101)
Intermediate Algebra and Trigonometry (MATH 112)

Additionally, if a student places into 2 or more of these classes, he or she must take College Experience (ACAD 103):
“This course is concerned with helping first-semester students adapt to college life at Massasoit. It aids students in exploring their personal values and reasons for seeking a college education. The students become familiar with the college's resources, policies, and procedures. Further, they develop skills in stress management, reduction of test anxiety, effective note-taking and test-taking techniques, career planning, decision-making, educational goal-setting, mediation and leadership.”

Transfer Credit
All credits presented for transfer will be evaluated by the Registrar’s Office, and, upon approval, may be included on a student’s transcript. However, no more than 10 transfer courses (30 credits) may be applied to any associate degree program; no more than half the required credits for a certificate program may be applied in transfer.
