English & Math Placement Assessment

English & Math Placement/Assessment

 

Per state legislation (AB 705/1805), all students have the right to bypass remedial coursework and register directly into transfer-level English and Math. Standardized assessment tests are no longer used to place students into English and math coursework. Instead, students who plan to enroll in an English or math class, or who plan to enter a degree, certificate, or transfer program are encouraged to fill out a self-guided placement questionnaire based on their high school academic record (such as coursework, grades, and/or GPA). In addition, colleges shall use evidence-based multiple measures for placing students into English-as-a-Second Language (ESL) courses.

 

How do I complete the Placement questionnaire?
All English and math placement will be done through Self-Service via a questionnaire. In order to complete this step you will need knowledge of your High School GPA, highest completed High School math course, and intended major of study. ESL students will be also required to fill out the questionnaire.

• Log into Self-Service
• Click on "Enrollment Checklist"
• Click on the link "Click here to get started"
• Within the "To Do" list, select "Grossmont Placement Questionnaire and Abbreviated Educational Plan."
• Click on "Complete Module Here" to access the Grossmont Placement Questionnaire
• Answer the provided questions within the Grossmont Placement Questionnaire to receive your recommended placement level and to receive your Abbreviated Educational Plan

The questionnaire will help you determine your English, Math or ESL placement.

 

What if I completed college level math and/or English courses at another institution?

Students who have completed an English and math class at another college may receive placement by submitting an Online Prerequisite Clearance Form that can be found here: Prerequisite Clearance Form
