How Do I Determine College Readiness?

SVCC will use multiple measures and informed self-placement to determine a student's readiness for college-level English and math courses. 

  • Students should complete the questionnaire for placement using this link: https://desurvey.vccs.edu/login. You will log into the survey by using your MySVCC username and password. If you do not have this information, please contact the SVCC IT Helpdesk at 434-949-1010 or helpdesk@southside.edu.  

In some special cases, such as students using military benefits, students may need to complete the Virginia Placement Test (VPT) to help determine their English and math placement. For more information, please speak with your College Navigator.
