§ 100-15. Placement measures.
(a) On or before May 1, 2022, a community college shall use each of the following measures, as appropriate, to determine the placement of a student in introductory college-level English language or mathematics coursework and shall use the scores set forth in recommendations approved by the Illinois Council of Community College Presidents on June 1, 2018:
(1) A student's cumulative high school grade point average.
(2) A student's successful completion of an appropriate high school transition course in mathematics or English.
(3) A student's successful completion of an appropriate developmental education or introductory college-level English language or mathematics course at another regionally accredited postsecondary educational institution.
(b) In determining the placement of a student in introductory college-level English language or mathematics coursework, a community college shall consider the standardized test scores provided by the student for placement in an introductory college-level English language or mathematics course.
In addition, a community college is encouraged to use the scores set forth in recommendations approved by the Illinois Council of Community College Presidents on June 1, 2018 and should also consider other individual measures for placement in an introductory college-level English language or mathematics course, as set forth in recommendations approved by the Illinois Council of Community College Presidents on June 1, 2018, and the scores set forth in those recommendations.
In its discretion, a community college may accept a lower score on individual placement measures or accept lower scores in combination with other placement measures than those set forth in the recommendations.
(c) If a student qualifies for placement in an introductory college-level English language or mathematics course using a single measure under subsection (a) or (b), no additional measures need to be considered for placement of the student in the introductory college-level English language or mathematics course.
