Course Request and Placement

At St. Mark’s, we encourage students to strike a balance between rigor and the ability to be academically successful in the program. Please review and complete the steps below for your course requests and language placements tests by May 7, 2025.
 
Math placement will take place from May 5 to May 16, 2025. 

Step 1: Set up your Blackbaud account by April 23, 2025. 

Step 2: Review the 2025-2026 Course Catalog.

Step 3: Print a copy of the Incoming Student Planning Document. Make sure you are looking at the correct forms' page (III Form = 9th grade, IV Form = 10th grade, and V Form = 11th grade). Use that document to organize your course requests.

Step 4: Login to Blackbaud to request the classes you selected on the planning document. When you login, you’ll see that you have already been enrolled in required courses. You will need to submit all other requests (see Step 6 on the Blackbaud Instructions page).

Step 5: If you requested level 2 or higher for any modern or classical language, complete your Modern Language placement survey AND test OR Latin placement test. (Please note: For Modern Languages, you will need to take the survey first ASAP, and then your placement test will be sent to you. The placement test needs to be completed by May 7, 2025).

Step 6: Complete your Math Placement Exam on Educompass. Math Placement tests will open on May 5 and close on May 16. Sign in instructions for Educompass will be sent to your St. Mark’s email address the subject line, "Educompass: Sign-in information for St. Mark's School." A reminder to complete the test will be sent out as the testing window approaches.
