Placement helps you identify which classes you are eligible to take.
Placement is necessary for the majority of students, but not everyone. Placement is needed if you are taking a class with a placement prerequisite. These include math, science, English, reading, business technology (BSTEC), healthcare, psychology and communication courses. Placement can be determined using high school transcripts, GED scores, placement tests you have taken elsewhere or by Highline’s assessment tests.
When you are ready for placement, go to the Placement and Testing Center (Building 1, East Entrance) with your photo ID. There are no fees for placement.
