Academic misplacement–Student is placed in the wrong level of class (Honors/Accelerated/AP vs. regular pace), or is placed in a class without meeting the prerequisite (placed in chemistry without passing biology first).
Program change-Student has been accepted into an academic program or the student is no longer enrolled in a specific program of study (examples: Eastland/Fairfield, Pathways, Mosaic)
Missing an academic class--Student is missing a core class such as English, history, math, or science.
Missing a graduation requirement--Student is missing a course necessary to graduate in the upcoming school year.
