At present our recommendations for placement are not binding. A student may place, let's say, into 101 but wishes to try 102. If the placement score is too far from 102, we will not recommend 102. The student may, however, express the wish to try 102. In such a case we indicate the student's wish on the advising form although we do not recommend 102.
Optimal placement is in the best interest of our students.
The placement exam takes out much of the guesswork in determining what courses students should take. Students should by no means self-select their first course at UNL since they may either underestimate or overestimate their level of competence.
