Abstract: Developmental education assessment and placement policies guide how students may demonstrate college readiness and are placed into college-level courses. States and postsecondary systems use a variety of measures to determine a student's college readiness. Often, policies require that students submit scores from a national, standardized test. Some states and postsecondary systems allow students to submit additional evidence of their college readiness to supplement -- or in lieu of -- an assessment score. Assessment scores and other measures of college readiness determine whether a student is placed into college-level coursework or developmental education. This document is part of the "50-State Comparison: Developmental Education Policies" that provides a national perspective on developmental education assessment and placement policies. The document presents data on all of the data points on developmental education policies for all states.
