Contact the Advising Office or the Testing Administrator if you have questions about advising or placement testing. Students with disabilities can contact the Disability Support Services Office to discuss accommodations. Placement testing is the first step toward student success. As a community college, Clark College serves a very diverse population with classes ranging from adult basic education to university transfer. Assessment begins with placement testing in writing skills, reading skills, and math skills, which helps determine the level of course work for which you are prepared and also readiness for entry into specific programs.
Recommendations range from refresher courses to honors classes.
All students entering the college for the first time are encouraged to complete placement testing. The information will not be used to deny admission to the college. Whatever the results are, there is a starting place for you. The student has submitted official college transcripts showing successful completion of college-level Math or English composition. If you are planning to take a foreign language you can either schedule a foreign language placement test with the Testing Coordinator or contact the Foreign Language Department to determine appropriate course placement.
