At UNH at Manchester, we have a College Transition Program through which students who do not meet admissions criteria but who demonstrate (in various ways) that they are capable of college level work can be admitted. Students who are admitted to CTP MUST take our advice re: placement in developmental courses if the placement tests indicate it. Regardless of how many developmental level courses (we have only 2) they test into, CTP students are limited DURING THE FIRST SEMESTER to taking two classes. If they do well the first semester (at least B in 2 courses), they are usually allowed to take 3 courses, which at UNHM is considered full-time. Our courses are 4-credit courses. Students who took only non-credit developmental courses the first semester -- even if they earn B's -- are probably not going to be permitted to take a 3rd course.
