Salt Lake Technical College

College Academic Readiness (TERA)

The College Academic Readiness Course offers individualized, self-paced instruction in reading, mathematics, and/or keyboarding to prepare students for introductory courses. Students will improve their skills in preparation for placement into Salt Lake Technical College certificate programs. The instructor will evaluate the student’s current abilities and create a personalized learning plan to target skill areas which need improvement. The coursework includes a blended curriculum of online practice, software, and other resources. Ongoing assessment is incorporated to ensure students succeed in their academic programs.

This course features an open entry/open exit format, so course start dates and schedules are flexible. Students register for a 1 credit class and set up a schedule with a minimum of 8 hours per week. A student’s schedule may include different hours on different days to accommodate varied work schedules. Students may need to enroll for more than one month to reach their academic goals. Progress and completion dates depend on entry skills and commitment to completing homework outside class.
