During the first seven weeks of the semester, students will take Reading and/or English 060 and the second seven weeks of the semester students will take Reading and/or English 090. Students who participate in the program will need to have access to a computer since the program includes both in class and on-line instruction. Each class equals 3 credit hours*.
