  • Students who pass a class will be promoted to the next level of that class.
  • Students who fail (having a final grade of DC or less, or an average grade of less than 75%) must repeat the course.
  • There are no promotions in the middle of the semester or session.

PROFICIENCY-BASED PROMOTION POLICY

  • Students who earn an A for their final grade in Speaking/Listening, Grammar, Reading/Writing 1 and Reading/Writing 2 will receive permission to retake the CELCIS placement exam at a designated time at the beginning of the following semester.
  • If the resulting test scores are high enough, the student may be allowed to advance one level at CELCIS.

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 the placement test to advance to the next level.

PROGRAM COMPLETION POLICY

To complete the CELCIS program, students must receive a passing grade (C or higher) in Speaking/Listening, Grammar/Communication, Reading/Writing 1 AND Reading/Writing 2 in the Advanced level.
