Placement provides the starting point for your educational journey. Placement will determine your English and math levels to help you select courses and complete prerequisites necessary for courses you need to take at WWCC. It is generally required for degree-seeking students to complete placement and it is sometimes needed in other areas. If you are unsure if testing is required for your program, please contact your advisor or the Testing Center.

Pick the option below that best fits your situation. You are welcome to pick more than one or change to another later. If you have any questions about any of these options, please contact the Testing Center at 509.527.4267 or email [email protected].
