APP Placement - Alternative Placement is not listed in Banner, what should I do?

Counselor Informed Potential APP Students

Counseling and advising is reporting conversations with students who claim to be eligible for APPE or APPM. In the instances where there is no APP code in Banner to confirm the students’ eligibility for APP, the counselor or advising cadre member has been sending a request to Elizabeth Benton, indicating the students’ potential APP eligibility, for confirmation. The process that has been engaged is as follows:

1. Counselor sends email with student name and M# to Elizabeth Benton, indicating student may be eligible for APPE or APPM;

2. Elizabeth Benton compiles list of names and M# from counselors;

3. Elizabeth Benton sends list to Josh Messite each Thursday morning;

4. Josh confirms APP status with MCPS, adding APP score when applicable;

5. Josh replies to Elizabeth Benton with status of the list after confirmation from MCPS

Students on Campus with Transcripts

In the event that a student brings an unofficial transcript to campus for an advising session, the transcript may be used for advising purpose. Students eligible for APPE must have earned a final grade of “B” or higher in AP Language and Composition, Honors English 12 or Modern World History. APPM students must have earned a final grade of “B” or higher in Algebra 2.

1. Counselor or cadre member should advise the student of his/her eligibility for APPE or APPM, based on the transcript;

2. Counselor should place an override into Banner, allowing the student to register for the appropriate course;

3. Counselor adds comment in Banner “Student APP (E or M, as appropriate) eligible via transcript”, indicating that the student presented a copy of the transcript to the counselor for advising purpose;

4. Counselor sends an email with the student’s name and M# to Elizabeth Benton, indicating the course and grade on transcript that qualifies the student for APPE or APPM (crucial for tracking/evaluating the students’ success)

5. Elizabeth Benton will compile list and send to Josh each Thursday morning, indicating which APP code should be added to each student’s record;

6. Josh will add the appropriate APP code to the student’s record.

Lifting WDCE Bridge Hold for APP Process

1. Counselor meets with a student who has a WDCE Bridge Hold on his/her record. Student cannot register for either APPE course (ENGL 101A) or the APPM course (either MATH 110 or MATH 117).

2. Counselor sends request to lift the hold along with the student’s name and M#, APP E or APPM indicator to Deborah Crutchfield in WDCE with a copy to Rodney.

3. Deborah removes the hold and replies to all that the hold has been removed, so the student can register.

4. Rodney send the student’s name and M# to Christine Hunt to add to her list so that the student’s progress can be tracked.

5. Counselor notifies the student that the hold has been lifted and s/he can now register for the appropriate APPE or APPM.
