Faculty and Staff Advisors

Thank you for your interest and help. We want our students to place accurately into the courses that will ensure their success in college. Please use the Advising Documents to show students the variety of options they have for assessment and placement at Highline College.

Advising Documents and Resources

Below are several advising sheets that the Math and English departments have developed. These show how placement scores translate into course sequences and have additional information (advising contacts within the department).

Our goal: Math and English Placement is educational and participatory for students. Visit the new website for the most up-to-date information. Thank you for supporting students to get accurate placement.

English and Math Videos

Students can use high school transcripts for placement

Both English and Math departments offer transcript placement for their courses. This means that students with certain grades in high school math or English language arts can place directly into a course — this values their work in high school and prevents them from potentially misplacing through other tests: Accuplacer or WAMAP.
