Determine Course Placement

Determine which English and Math course is best for you. There are different ways to make this determination, choose the one you are most comfortable with.

Options to Determine Your Course Placement

English

Determine English course placement through an English self-assessment. After taking the survey, you decide if you should take English composition I (ENG 1021) alone, or with a support lab. And then, register for your choice. It’s that simple.

MATH 1340 (College Algebra)

Determine math course placement through a math self-assessment. After watching the video, you can come to the CCD Placement and Credential Testing Center at any time to test (no need for an appointment). Your responses will be reviewed, and you will receive an email to your CCD student email with the most appropriate math course for you.

Please turn in your high school transcripts to registration and records.

GED, HiSET, and TASC transcripts can also be reviewed. Please see the Intake form for Admissions.

Official transcripts are evaluated for transfer of credit and reviewed to exempt a student from taking all or portions of the assessment tests (Math and English). Please see the Intake form for Admissions.

Unofficial ACT, SAT, and Accuplacer placement test scores from within the past five (5) years can be evaluated. Please see the Intake form for Admissions. We recommend that students take the English self-assessment rather than the Accuplacer test unless you are considering a career in the health sciences.
