Assessment

Using Scores from other colleges

If you have taken the ASSET or COMPASS placement tests at another school, you have the option to transfer those scores to SCC. SCC does not accept scores from the ACCUPLACER or any other assessment test other than ASSET and COMPASS. You may submit your ASSET or COMPASS scores from other schools subject to the following conditions:

* ASSET/COMPASS Math scores cannot be more than three years old

* ASSET/COMPASS English scores cannot be more than three years old

Please call the Admissions Office for more information. You may also fax your COMPASS results to the Admissions Office along with your student identification number (SID) and phone number.

All new students at Shoreline are encouraged to take either the ASSET or the COMPASS test. However, placement testing is required for the following students:

• Students who declare an intent to pursue a college degree or certificate.
• Students who plan to enroll in a math, English or “W” designated class or any course with a math or English prerequisite.

Placement testing is not required for transfer students who submit official college transcripts showing the completion of both college-level math and English composition with a grade of 2.0 (C) or better.

Students who have taken the SAT or ACT of any date may submit those scores in lieu of placement testing for their English placement. Math scores from SAT or ACT are not accepted.

NOTE: All students who are non-native speakers of English and who have been in the United States less than four years will be assessed according to the policies and procedures of the Essential Skills Program; call 206-546-5827 for more information.
