Adult learners at open‐enrollment institutions often arrive lacking basic college readiness. They may have been out of school for many years, so their academic skills may be rusty, or they may simply have failed to acquire a sufficient degree of knowledge in core subjects during previous schooling. As a result, they are not ready to enroll in college‐level courses.
