 Shoreline Community College offers a comprehensive program of
orientation, assessment, advising and placement. The
assessment component includes your choice of the ASSET or
COMPASS test. Test scores are used to help ensure accurate
placement in English and math courses. Prospective
students whose first language is not English are encouraged to
take the English as a Second Language test (ESL test) offered
through our Essential Skills Program (see details below).
The information will not be used to deny admission to the
college. (High School Running Start students may need to
meet specific score requirements; call 206-546-6964 for more
information.)
English and math assessment is required for first-time
college students and strongly recommended for all other
students. The
Testing Office offers assessment at certain
times, as well as GED testing to students without a high school
diploma.
Assessment testing will help you identify your strengths and
weaknesses in writing skills, reading skills, and mathematics.
With this information, you and your advisor will be able to
increase your chances for success by selecting classes that are
appropriate for your level of skills and abilities.
