What is Placement?

Redesigning Placement at Highline College
The goal of placement is to assess skills to ensure students are able to successfully engage with course content, and have the best chances at passing the course.
 
Many courses at Highline have placement prerequisites for reading and mathematics ability. The courses that 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!
 

For All Placement Testing

 
Option 1: Meet with Entry Advising before taking a placement test, located on the top floor in Building 6, 2nd floor. 

Option 2: Complete this interactive form to see what placement measure is right for you, and connect with an Entry Advisor!

  • Your first step is to meet with an Entry Advisor in Building 6, 2nd floor. Your individual situation determines what placement path is best for you.
