This What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) report, part of the WWC’s Developmental Education topic area, explores the effects of DCMP on student progression in developmental education and progression in college. The WWC identified seven studies of DCMP. Three of these studies meet WWC standards. The evidence presented in this report is from studies of the impact of DCMP on community college students—including Asian, Black, White, and Hispanic students—in urban, suburban, and rural settings.

Not all students enroll in college prepared for college-level coursework. In response, many colleges attempt to identify students who are underprepared for college-level courses and then place them into developmental courses intended to help them succeed. These courses are usually offered on a non-credit basis and do not count toward graduation. As a result, students enrolled in developmental education can take longer to graduate than peers who enroll in credit bearing college courses from the outset.
