Placement

What is Placement?

The goal of placement is to assess skills to ensure students can successfully engage with course content and have the best chances of passing the course. Many courses at Highline have placement prerequisites for reading and mathematics ability. The courses students place into determine how they progress through their program of study and how long their degree will take.  We have a variety of ways to assess students’ skills, one method doesn’t work for all!
