Requests and Appeals
We understand that the course placement process can be challenging and that students may occasionally feel their assigned level does not accurately reflect their abilities or prior knowledge. This appeal process is designed to provide you with the opportunity to request a review of your course placement decision. Our goal is to support your academic journey and ensure that you are placed in the course that best suits your skills and learning needs.
If you are requesting a level up, please use the chart below to guide your decision. Also, we applaud you for challenging yourself with a more rigorous course, and we ask that you keep in mind that once this placement is changed and the course begins, you will not be able to move back down to the regular level if you find the course to be more challenging then you had anticipated.
