CROSSroads 2017-18

College Readiness Optimizes Student Success

 

College Readiness: Graduating from high school with the skills needed to place into and be successful in transfer-level English courses.

 

Our Goal: To make incoming SCC students college ready—providing them with a review of fundamental skills in reading & English that will assist their placement into transfer-level courses.

 

Who Should Register?

High school seniors who:

• Expect to become SCC students during the fall semester after graduation

•  Want the opportunity to increase their chances of being placed into a college-level English class

• Will have to take placement tests at SCC for English

• Did not pass AP or IB tests for English

​

 

Why CROSSroads?

 A U.S. Dept. of Ed study found that 58% of students who do not require remediation earn a bachelor’s degree, compared to 17% of students enrolled in remedial English.

At Santiago Canyon College, without any placement test preparation, 66% of students place into college English. BUT students who participate in the CROSSroads program are 85% likely to place into college-level English.

ENGLISH  SUCCESS WORKSHOPS

        All sessions take place 4:30-5:45PM in H208, the Writing Center. Please register for each one separately, at least two days before the workshop, so that we will be able to send you an electronic parking pass. Otherwise, you will need to pay for a parking permit once you arrive.
