Reason for Policy 

1. State Mandate: Developmental Policy (Section I) requires, among other things, that all state-supported institutions of higher education "shall ensure that developmental students who place into college-level English and Mathematics courses with SAI, or place into non-college level developmental education, complete the sequent college level English and Mathematics course(s) required of their programs within the student's first 30 semester credits."

2. State Mandate: Supplemental Academic Instruction (Section I, Part W) requires institutions to require "students placed into SAI complete their SAI requirements by the time the student completes thirty college-level credit hours" (5.01.04).
