Students - Know Your Rights!

Watch this video for more information on assessment tests.

Per AB 705, students have the right to complete our locally developed process for self-placement into English, math and English as a Second Language (ESL).

  • For English guided self-placement, students who do not place into ENG-1A directly may opt-out of ENG-91 by completing a simple form; click here for further information.

  • For math guided self-placement, students must visit with a counselor (schedule online counseling appointment) to discuss appropriate placement. In certain circumstances, some students will be referred to the Math Department Chair for further assistance in self-placement.

  • For English as a Second Language (ESL) self-guided placement, students who feel they would benefit from English language instruction may visit RCCD Guided Self-Placement Tool to take the ESL GSP.
