ACT’s Definition of College Readiness
College Readiness is the level of preparation a student needs
to be equipped to enroll and succeed – without remediation – in
a credit-bearing, first-year course at a two-year or four-year institution, trade school,
or technical school. www.act.org/commoncore

Roster 1: Early Intervention Roster
School-level reports that identify students who fall into three categories:
Roster 1: Students indicating they do not plan to finish high school or have no post-high school educational plans
2a) students with a composite score of 16 or higher who reported they have no plans to go to college
2b) students who reported that they plan to attend college but earned a composite score of 15 or less, or reported that they do not plan to take college core coursework.
Roster 2: Coursework Intervention
Roster 3: Need for Assistance◦Roster 3: Students who expressed a need for
help in a particular area Educational/career planning Improving writing skills Improving reading speed and comprehension Improving study skills Improving mathematical skills Improving computer skills Improving public speaking
This roster can help you identify instructional needs, design intervention strategies, and assist students with reaching their
academic and career goals.
