NEW STUDENT PLACEMENT ADVISOR NOTESThere are three separate screening placement levels to determine proper developmental placement of students. Placement is progressive. Advisors need to follow each level (in sequence) in order to correctly place students. Screening Levels Explained: Screening Level 1: This level is the first level and determines placement via an ACT score that is not older than 5 years. All screening must begin here first. See Level 1 chart for more information.Screening Level 2. This level is the second level of screening and only takes place if a student does not meet eligibility under (Level 1). Level 2 determines placement via a review of the high school GPA and English and math course grades. See Level 2 chart for more information.Screening Level 3: This level is the third level of screening and should only be utilized when a student is not eligible under Level 1 and Level 2 screening. Level 3 determines placement via Accuplacer scores. See Level 3 chart for more information.NOTE: Reversing the order of or skipping screening levels is not allowed, for in doing so, one could inadvertently place a student in a developmental class incorrectly. Screening should be followed in the sequential order.Placement scores and the high school GPA are valid for five years only. If older than 5 years, the student must take the Accuplacer.Students who meet placement criteria on the basis of approved ACT sub-scores or high school markers in both math and English are exempt from taking Accuplacer. That is why it is important to screen all students under Level 1 and Level 2 screening before moving to Level 3. IMPORTANT NOTE: Screening should take place in sequential order: Level 1, Level 2 to Level 3. Keep in mind, while screening, that the ultimate goal is to find the highest student placement, not the lowest. Thus, if a student is screened into developmental placement under Level 1 (ACT), you should move to Level 2 (high school GPA and grades) to see if you can screen the student out of developmental placement at this level. If not, move to Accuplacer testing. For example, if the ACT score is not high enough to place a student out of development, but the GPA and applicable high school grades are high enough, you must input that information and place that student out of developmental and into the gateway course. This approach holds true for Accuplacer scores as well. Therefore, placement is a graduated process. The highest placement pathway stands.English (See charts for graphic)Placement into ENG 101ACT English sub-score of 18 or above, orHS GPA of 2.75 or higher and A or B grade in English IV, orWritePlacer (Accuplacer) score of 5Placement into ENG 101 and ENG 099ACT English sub-score of 17, orHS GPA of 2.75 or higher AND grade of C in English IV, or WritePlacer (Accuplacer) score of 4, orPlacement into ENR 098WritePlacer (Accuplacer) score of 3 or belowMathematics (See charts for graphics)Math Placement based on ACT math sub-score of 20 or higher – See Math Placement Guidelines ChartPlacement into MTH 100 or MTH 110/MTH 109 LS or MTH 112/MTH 111 LSACT math sub-score of 18 or 19, orHS GPA of 2.75 or higher and A or B grade in Algebra II, orAccuplacer Elementary Algebra (EA) score of 60-79 for MTH 100Accuplacer Elementary Algebra (EA) score of 80-120 for MTH 110 or 112Placement into MTH 100 and MTH 099ACT math sub-score of 17, or HS GPA of 2.75 or higher and C in Algebra II, or Accuplacer Elementary Algebra (EA) score of 50-59Placement into MTH 098Accuplacer Elementary Algebra (EA) score of 20-49Advisors Must VerifyOnly ACT subject matter examinations are used for placement purposes.
