Early Placement Procedure-Students under Age 16

Just a reminder about the process for underage students (under the age of 16), who want to enroll in classes at MC – either Monica or Helen will determine whether or not the student seems mature enough to take classes here. The student may be referred to take our Placement Test in which case s/he would need to go through a MAP or eMAP. Once the student gets his/her test scores from Counseling, s/he should be referred back to Monica or Helen for approval of course selection. Counselors should not approve these students’ course selections.

F-1 Students - Extensions

From Heidi:

If a student is verifying information for an I-20, the major needs to match in Banner (it can be a double or second major – the student does not need to change majors).

What we need from our counselors is really two things on the letter:

1. Which semester we expect this student to complete the DEGREE program in the major they are asking about.
   
   If they need to add or change to have that major in Banner, please give them the form. If they wish to also complete a Certificate or Letter or Recognition those classes need to be incorporated into the degree program (they cannot be done afterward).
   
2. What is the reason they would not be done at the end of this current semester.
   
   Usually they started in AELP or they changed a major or the College sequencing or offering of the courses means they need an extra semester.
   
   If the reason is that the student had to repeat a course several times, has a gpa below 2.0 so cannot graduate, or avoided taking the Math placement test and now needs extra time just to do developmental Math, please be aware that will be a problem!
   
   In those cases the student may need additional counseling on transferring to a different educational environment, taking classes in summer or winter terms to ‘catch up’ or getting extra help or DSS testing.
   

F-1 Students in Pre-Health Sciences

From Heidi:
· We can only give them an extension to complete the courses they need to apply to the Health Science major.
· Once they have been accepted, they transfer to Takoma Park and get a whole new I-20.
