What is College Readiness? According to the Educational Policy Improvement Center, college readiness means that a student can enter a college classroom, without remediation, and successfully complete entry-level college requirements.
Although many people think of school readiness as academic preparedness, Michigan State University Extension recommends parents look differently at what it means to be ready. 1  The school readiness skills, most directly associated with academic success, are often referred to as âsocial and emotional healthâ skills.
