Winter (1/5-1/21/09)- RD099

Prerequisite for Winter RD099 is an A or B in RD095, or Accuplacer reading score of 75 or above. Students who do not meet the prerequisite will be dropped from the course.

Students should be prepared for three very intense weeks (12 sessions, meeting 3 1/2 hours each morning) of reading.

This class needs sufficient registration to run, so interested students are encouraged to register before December 18.

To facilitate early RD099 Winter session registration, students who are interested can take their RD095 Final Exam early to be certain of their final grade. A final will be offered on Friday, December 11, time and place TBA.

For more information, please contact Susan Simpson (240-567-7449.)

MTAP and F-1 Students

F-1 students must take a full time course load of 12 credits here at MC to maintain their F-1 status.

Since Montgomery College is issuing the I-20 for the F-1 students fsaATLAS monitors their compliance through Montgomery College. MTAP F-1 students are elibible to take a course at the University of Maryland at the 25% reduced rate but this must be in addition to at least 12 credits taken at Montgomery College.

If students have any questions regarding their I-20 or status please have them contact Montgomery College’s International Student Coordinators
