All freshmen must take a placement test in Math, English and Reading before they can be enrolled. You may take this assessment test at San Diego City College, or take the test at your local community/junior college and submit results. Results must be sent to San Diego City College.

c. ACT/SAT Scores if appropriate based on Evaluation.

(WORD OF ADVICE: Take your time on the test, do your best, and remember that you are allowed breaks. The test is not timed. Those that fare well on the test may avoid having to enroll in developmental classes at City.)

After your Placement results/Test Scores have been processed, schedule a Counseling Appointment for an Education Plan for registration in Fall Classes.
