Welcome to the Placement Process

The Placement Process helps us get to know you better. These classes complete your Composition (EN—English/ESL) and Quantitative Literacy/Quantitative Studies (QL/QS—Math) Core Skill requirements.

By taking these Placement tests, you agree to follow the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities regarding academic honesty. You agree to take these tests without any outside help of any form. NOT allowed: textbooks, notes, search engines, websites, help from anyone, or help of any form. Evidence of academic honesty will result in invalidated test scores and may affect retest options.

Al realizar estas pruebas de nivel, usted acepta cumplir con el Código de Derechos y Responsabilidades Estudiantiles en lo referente a la honestidad académica. Se compromete a realizar dichas pruebas sin ningún tipo de ayuda externa. No está permitido el uso de libros de texto, apuntes, motores de búsqueda, sitios web ni recibir ayuda de ninguna persona o de cualquier otra índole. La falta de honestidad académica conllevará la anulación de los resultados de la prueba y podría afectar a las opciones para repetirla.

Each Placement test has a 90-minute time limit, which may be more time than you need. The estimated time is approximately 30 minutes. Once completed, your scores should be available in our system within 1 hour after the test is complete. Speak to your advisor after taking the test. Allow 1-2 business days to register for your courses.

The ESL Placement test is an online English language test offered through Versant. It will assess your four language abilities: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. The test takes approximately 50 minutes to complete. It can be taken from anywhere, through a computer with a speaker, microphone, and stable internet connection.

After SLCC admission you will receive an email in your Bruinmail from 'ScoreKeeper' with information on accessing your test. You will have two weeks from receiving that email to complete your test. Once you have started your test you must complete it within 24 hours, in one sitting.
