The orientation is designed to familiarize new students with important resources available to them at Miramar College. Please note, the orientation will only allow you to input 9 digits of your student ID. Please leave off the FIRST digit of your student ID, and provide the last nine digits.
After completing the Placement, students will receive an email in 1-2 business days that contains their milestones/placement levels.
Please note that the Placement Assistant does not let students resume, or back to change an answer. Plan to complete the Placement Assistant in one sitting. The Placement Assistant will provide an opportunity to review and change answers before the final submission.
Who Should take the Assessment?
The Assessment is an important part of determining your math, English, or ELAC class.
Important Information For Students:
The Placement Assistant offers students a new way to be placed into English and mathematics courses based on self reported data. The Placement Assistant is designed to be inclusive for all students no matter the educational history or time from from the last completed course. This means that it will be open to those who have not received a diploma and have GED scores, HiSET scores, CHSPE scores or even completed schooling in a foreign country!
The results from the Placement Assistant may or may not apply to outside colleges based on their independent determination.
ELAC- English Language Acquisition
If a student has completed the Placement Assistant and is given English courses, they may still opt to take the ELAC assessment.
To request an ELAC assessment, send an email to miratesting@sdccd.edu. Include your name & college ID#, and that you wish to complete ELAC placement.
Students with qualifying scores from alternative tests, prior completion of college English or math, or assessment results from another California community college may be exempt from taking the Placement Assistant.
