Critical and Core Reading Strategies Placement
Kent State University regional campuses offer two courses to help students develop reading strategies to successfully complete college-level coursework — UC 00003 Core Reading Strategies for College Success and UC 00006 Critical Reading Strategies for College Success. A student placed into UC 00003 must take UC 00006 the following term. Both courses require a minimum C grade. Students who have taken the Accuplacer Reading Comprehension at another institution within two years of their initial start date may opt to transfer that score to Kent State University.
