Complete the Placement Process Many classes at SLCC, especially English and math, require placement. Students who do not submit an ACT/ SAT score will need to go through the SLCC placement process by visiting Testing Services. This process helps determine which class you will be most successful in. The SLCC Catalog specifies prerequisites for each course or if placement testing is required. The English (EN) or math (QL or QS) class choice should be based on your program and transfer institution’s requirements. If you are unsure about which course is right for you, please consult an academic advisor or the catalog. A-Z Index: Catalog A-Z Index: Testing Services Transferring from another college? If you have college credits from another college or university, you may be exempt from all or part of the placement assessment. A–Z Index: Transcript Evaluation, Incoming
