SL Implementation
Status: https://sequoias.atlassian.net/browse/AP-28
ESL: Specialist - Jennifer Espinoza, Counselor - Dalila Cazares
SOATEST Manual Editors: Regina Trevino, Carlos Cantu, Adrienne Duarte, Jennifer Espinoza
Complies with COS Catalog Placement Procedures, Chancellor's Office Correspondence, and the SL DED
Because we don’t use Banner placement codes/scores in the recommended way we temporarily populate all students w/ existing placement codes/scores with ESL placement scores to accurately report the reality of placement. Leaving those codes/scores in the system would create confusion and inaccurate maintenance of the data. Changing our business practices to Ellucian approved methods was not approved at the time.

SL06
- Utilized the “Placement Rules - Summer 2021.docx” and Course Basic (CB) data to define transfer, transfer w/support, level below by SOATEST score.
If a placement has multiple course options made available to students, including some courses which would require co-requisite support and some courses which do not, which value of SL06 should be assigned to the placement?
Under most circumstances, these students should be considered assigned to that level without support, similar to the question above. However, again as above, if the college is in some way recommended that a student take the course with support, then that college should consider that placement to be a transfer-level placement with support recommended.
