The assessment score on the placement test indicates the appropriate starting point for each student. The COMPASS test is a computerized placement test. Calculators may be used in the algebra sections of the test; not the pre-algebra section. It is untimed, and therefore it is hard to estimate how long the session may last. Your results will be available minutes after the test. Students may request to take the ASSET test, a paper/pencil timed placement test. COMPASS/ESL (English as a Second Language) is offered to students interested in International English enrollment.
To schedule a placement test, contact the Student Development Center at (360) 417-6340 or toll-free at (877) 452-9277, Ext. 6340.
Pay the $15 testing fee in the Business Office (Building "C") and show the receipt at the time of the test. Placement tests on the main campus will be in the Student Services (clock tower) Building 'D', Room 212. Please bring your picture ID and student ID number.
Advising appointments will be scheduled after the completion of assessment and orientation.

Incoming students with Advanced Placement Test scores of 3 or better in English and mathematics may have the assessment process waived.
Running Start candidates can determine eligibility by showing college-level English and/or math skills through assessment.
