Remediation Report for Valencia
When previous‐year high school graduates apply for admission as degree seekers, they take the Computerized Placement Test (CPT)
required by the State of Florida, or they present an ACT or SAT score. These test scores place the student into either college‐prepara
tory or college‐level courses in English, reading, or mathematics. The college‐preparatory course may be at the first or second level;
generally the first level is for up to ninth grade work, while the second level is for tenth to twelfth grade work. Remediation rates ar
e computed for previous‐year high school grads (PYHSGs) who are first‐time‐in‐college degree seekers, including students who were
dual enrolled prior to their high school graduation. Placement levels for previous‐year high school graduates from the service distric
t are shown below.
