English Placement Appeals

Students may repeat the English assessment only after one year has passed. If the student believes that the placement recommendation is not indicative of his/her abilities, the student may appeal their English placement by taking the writing sample test. The writing sample is a test where the student will read a prompt and write a short essay. If the student elects to take the writing sample test, it will be the one and only time they can appeal their English placement results.

Writing Sample Test Dates

• We CANNOT use high school transcripts as an English placement appeal.
• You can only use the Writing Sample appeal process one time.
• You have to wait one full year before you can take the English placement exam again.
• Writing Sample exams can take up to 5 business days to score so please plan ahead.

Math Placement Appeals

Students may repeat the Math assessment test only after three months have passed. If the student believes that the placement recommendation is not indicative of his/her abilities, the student may take a different level test at the next available testing session with no waiting period or submit the Math Appeal Petition.

Students may appeal their math placement by submitting official or unofficial high school transcripts showing completed course work in Algebra I, Algebra II, Trigonometry, Math Analysis, or Pre-Calculus with a grade of C or better. Math courses with a grade of C- or courses taken in adult education, summer school or continuation school will NOT be accepted. High school transcripts can be used as an appeal only after the student has completed one of the math assessment tests.

Note: A high school math appeal form is required when sending official or unofficial high school transcripts to our office.

• We CANNOT accept grades of C- or lower in the math appeal process.
