Make Your Senior Year Count! ERWC & Math – Being successful in your Math and Language Arts classes will help you to prepare for your placement exams. Doing well on your placement tests can save you precious time and money by allowing you to start with the classes that count, not remedial classes. Check with each individual UC campus for Math placement test information. Colleges Can Rescind Admissions If you receive a D or an F during either semester of your senior year colleges who have sent your acceptance letters before the issuing of semester grades can rescind your admission. This most often happens with Language Arts and Math classes. However, selective schools or majors that are impacted can rescind admission for D’s and F’s in classes that are not required. 6
