A proposed eight-week summer tutoring bridge in math and English, so a student's first semester counts toward a degree instead of paying for courses that don't.
One semester of tuition. Zero credits toward a degree.
A semester spent in MAT 0024 covers material they were meant to know already. It earns no credit, and graduation moves a term further away.
They pay full tuition for a course that appears on no degree audit. It is the least popular line item on any bill a college sends.
Underplaced students carry the highest attrition risk. A student who never reaches credit-bearing math is a student who often does not return.
Elementary Algebra. No college credit.
Intermediate Algebra. Elective credit only.
College Algebra. Counts from week one.
Or below 18 Reading. Places into ENC 0020.
Combined score. Places into ENC 0020.
Clear any one. Starts at ENC 1101.
Miss one threshold and the first semester starts at ENC 0020 — Intro to College English, no college credit. Clear it and the student begins at ENC 1101.
Two subjects. An AI tutor works each student only through what they have not proven yet.
Every student follows the same arc. No two follow the same path through it — the diagnostic writes each student's sequence, and the tutor rewrites it after every session.
An adaptive diagnostic maps both subjects skill by skill. Every gap is located before a single lesson is assigned.
The gaps that block everything downstream — arithmetic reasoning, sentence control. Nothing already mastered is repeated.
The bulk of the work. Algebra through functions; paragraph through argument. Solved skills return on a spaced schedule, so nothing fades before test day.
Timed, mixed-topic practice in the real testing format. Whatever still breaks under pressure is found and closed.
The student sits the College's own proctored placement test. The result is the result — we report it either way.
Faculty choose the curriculum, the texts, and the bar a student has to clear. The software only changes how a student practices — never what counts as ready. Nothing gets lowered to make the numbers look better.
A dashboard shows where every student stands, skill by skill, while there is still time to do something about it. No waiting on one score in week three, after schedules are already locked.
Instead of paying for a remedial course that earns nothing, that semester goes toward classes that count on the degree audit. Students who start earning credit right away are far more likely to stay enrolled.
We measure success with the College's own placement exam, proctored by your staff. If a group of students does not improve, the report says so plainly.
The goal is every student in the cohort clearing the threshold by August, so their first semester of tuition buys credit instead of a zero-credit course. Measured against Florida College's own placement test and reported in full — including what does not work.
One student who clears turns $8,960 of first-semester tuition from a course that earns no credit into a semester that counts. For the College it is a student who starts earning credit in week one — the ones most likely to still be enrolled next year. We report the result either way: if it does not move your placement numbers, the report says so.
Thank you. Your request is in, and we will write to you directly.
A proposal for discussion — not an announced program. Eight weeks before move-in means a June start, so a summer 2027 cohort is scoped in the spring.
