The Guided Self-Placement tool for English and math provides students with the ability to rate their level of comfort with math problems, English prompts, and reading passages. Students receive course placement results after completing the questionnaire.
Students who want to enroll in English and/or math courses and have been out of high school for more than 10 years or fall into other circumstances where course placement based on high school GPA does not apply must complete the Guided Self-Placement tools.
Most students will be placed into transfer-level math, however it is important to choose an appropriate math course based on your majore and educational goals. If you have any questions about your English or math placement, please talk with your counselor.
If you are a new applicant you will receive a math and English placement automatically upon completion of the online admission application (CCCApply).
Current students who have graduated from high school in the last 10 years can use high school course work and GPA to be placed in math and English courses.
