Home > Admissions > Placement
Step Three (of Getting Started): Take a College
Placement Assessment.
We ask that new college students take a Placement Assessment in
order to choose math and English courses that are appropriate. All
students begin their college career with different skills, and this
document will provide you guidance in selecting courses (PDF) that will
enable you to establish the best foundation for success.
Return your completed form (PDF) to the Student Services office.
This assessment is self-directed, which means that you will be the
one responsible for determining the results based on your
experience. If you feel unsure of the results, you are welcome to
speak with an advisor.
If you feel that you require college readiness courses in math or
English, these are available at no charge through the Adult
Opportunity Center. We want you to succeed in college,
so please do not hesitate to ask for an academic advisor.
The following policies have been established regarding placement:
- Degree-Seeking Students - If you are a new student with no prior college course work who intends to earn a degree or obtain a certificate, you are required to take the self-directed placement assessment.
- Transfer Students - Based on the results of an evaluation of transfer credits, if you are a new student with prior college course work in mathematics and English, you may (upon request) be excused from taking the assessment.
- Non-Degree Students - If you are a new student who wishes to take courses but does not intend to work toward a degree or certificate, you may not be required to take the assessment. However, non-degree students wishing to take any mathematics or English courses will be required to take the assessment before enrolling in those courses. Additionally, non-degree students who later decide to enter a degree/certificate program will be required to take the assessment.
