The School of Adult & General Education (SAGE) helps students progress in their academic and career pursuits through a variety of support courses and programs. Courses are offered in a variety of formats (collaborative, self-paced, distance) so that students can choose the course that best fits their learning style. Developmental education courses are graded credit (CR) or no credit (NC). SAGE offers day and evening courses at all campuses as well as distance learning courses.
SAGE’s Developmental Education program offers courses to help students prepare for college in the following disciplines or areas:
College Success Experience (CSE)
English
English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)
Math
Reading
The Adult Basic Education (ABE) program within SAGE offers instruction to adults who do not speak English as their first language or who are preparing to take the GED exam or college courses. Adult Basic Education students receive most of the same services as other CNM students but do not follow the procedures outlined in this catalog for admission and registration.
