At Hillsborough Community College in Tampa, Florida, it is dependent upon how many developmental courses the student has tested into. Students who only test into math, for example, can take any other courses they wish. Students who test into the early level reading and writing must take both levels of reading and writing before anything else, including developmental math. Students in any developmental reading or writing courses cannot take any courses that require writing in-depth term papers. Hope this is helpful.
