• Executive Order 1110 Outcomes at SJSU

  • The CSU Board of Trustees adopted Executive Order 1110 in November 2017. This policy replaced traditional remediation with supplemental instruction in the form of college-level, baccalaureate support courses. Since 2017, the number of SJSU students who have completed their General Education A2 writing and B4 quantitative reasoning courses by the end of their first year of college has increased dramatically.

    Issue

    Before Fall 2018

    Students were placed into remedial math and writing classes.

    Remedial classes took up to a year to complete.

    Remedial class units did not count towards graduation.

    Students who did not complete remedial classes risked disenrollment.

    Strategy

    EO 1110 Resolution for Supported Instruction

    Students who need additional instruction enroll in supplemental workshops or classes.
