2. By the end of week 2 of the new semester, the student may contact their ESL instructor by email or during instructor office hours and ask to challenge their placement.
3. By the end of week 3, the student may contact the ESL Assessment Coordinator, Robin Goodnough, at ragoodnough@pipeline.sbcc.edu with a cc to the ESL Department Chair, Marit ter Mate-Martinsen, martinse@sbcc.edu to challenge their placement.
