Nearly half of all students who attend Gainesville State College enroll in one or more remedial classes as a freshman. And over the last two years, the regulations the state puts on how students enter and exit those courses have changed, capping how many chances students get at passing remedial classes. In 2010, the state put together a learning support task force charged with implementing ways to increase the retention rate for students who enter college with some remediation needed.
