Student Assessment Services

Student Assessment Services—a partnership between the Testing Center and the Office of Credentials Evaluation—assists students with determining course placement for new or returning students at South Seattle College. Course placement determines the level of your first classes in English and math.

Placement is required for all new students at South Seattle College, as well as students who have not yet completed a math or English course. Many courses in subjects outside of math and English may require placement or completion of certain math or English courses.

Students should complete at least one placement method before meeting with an advisor or attempting to register for classes. Course placement is not a substitute for official credit transfer; if you have completed college transfer eligible coursework, please follow this link for instructions on how to transfer that credit to South. https://southseattle.edu/registration/transfer-other-forms-credit-assessment
