Uploaded by Melati

Quick Guide for EAP and course placement outlines how new and continuing students should be advised based on ACCUPLACER ESL results using PERT or ACCUPLACER NG. It provides placement recommendations for EAP levels 2, 3, 4, and 5+ across subject areas, specifying advisor- or student-option pathways, required referral steps, and which math or English courses to enter. It also notes advisement conditions tied to reading and writing score thresholds and includes a scenario guide for key student types.

FAQs

How are new students placed when they take ACCUPLACER ESL and place into an EAP level using PERT?

The guide specifies advisor- or student-option pathways depending on the EAP level. For each level, it directs students to appropriate math courses or to take PERT/ACCUPLACER NGAAF when score ranges require further assessment.

What happens for continuing EAP students after the “W” date if they have not yet taken the PERT?

After the “W” date, the guide recommends advisor actions based on the student’s EAP level across subject areas, including required advisor referral for EAP Level 2 students and placement into specific math or English courses when math or reading/writing thresholds are met.

When must a student see the department chair or designee for advisement purposes?

For both PERT and ACCUPLACER NG pathways, the guide states that students who meet or exceed the listed reading and writing score thresholds must see the department chair or a designee for advisement.
