the “Non-credit” or “Fine Arts” category.

placement (standard, survey, honors).

Course Placement Scenarios
If you agree with the course recommendation AND a specific
course is listed, such as “Spanish II,” you do not need to do
anything else.
If you agree with the course placement AND a general course
placement is listed, such as “Any Standard Freshman English,” you
will follow this guidance to select Freshman English or
Perspectives: World Literature.
