SUMMER PROMOTION POLICY
- Promotion in the summer semester is based on a weighted average of the summer I and summer II courses, with equal weight given to both classes (see Promotion Table below).
- New students beginning in the Summer II session may be required to retake courses or take a placement test to advance to the next level.
