STEP 2: COMPLETE THE ONLINE PLACEMENT ASSESSMENTS

All new and transferring full-time and part-time students who have not accumulated 30 quarter credits are required to take a Placement Assessment test that assesses skills in reading, English, and mathematics, prior to pre-registration. We are currently providing these tests online after the Placement Intake Form has been completed.

Placement Assessments must be taken before registration for classes can occur.

We need to ask a few questions to create a profile for you as a student. When your placement results are complete they will be placed with your profile and sent on to your advisor along with course recommendations.
