Abstract | This report highlights the steps that colleges and universities in Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) states are taking to reduce the need for remedial college courses, addressing the following issues: who needs remedial education; how many students entering college need remedial courses; whether state policies on college-level assessment and placement matter; who should deliver remedial education; whether taking the right high school courses matters in reducing the need for remedial education; why so many students need remedial mathematics; what states are doing to address the fact that more than half of African American and Hispanic students who begin college need at least one remedial course; how effective remedial education is for college students; and what states should do to reach the goal that four of every five students entering college will be ready to begin college-level work. The report concludes with several recommendations, including states should fit the remediation approach to the student; states should increase the required number of mathematics courses; colleges should encourage students in middle grades to begin planning for college; and colleges and schools need to make better use of information on how high school graduates perform as college freshmen.
