• There is reason to believe that a meaningful change (either an increase or decrease) is likely to have occurred in the examinee's level of knowledge and skill in the areas assessed by ACCUPLACER.
• Any exceptions regarding extenuating circumstances affecting the student’s testing performance/results will go to the Dean of Academic Support & Effectiveness for consideration/approval.

If retesting on ACCUPLACER the following rules will apply:
