Placement Testing

Placement tests are no longer required. Students will be placed in English and math courses based on their high school GPA and math courses taken. Informed self-placement options will be offered to students who have completed high school or GED credentials over 6 years ago. Learn more about direct enrollment.  

SVCC is also offering some flexibility in its admission and placement of high school students for dual enrollment. Learn more about dual enrollment admission and placement measures.
