Assessment Placement Process

Every new student is required to participate in the assessment/placement process. This process is designed to assist students in choosing classes and is necessary to determine placement in English, mathematics and reading courses at Crafton Hills College. In order to receive priority registration new students must complete the assessment/placement process.

The placement process is an online questionnaire that asks students to provide information about their high school experience and history with math and English. Students can access the questionnaire at www.craftonhills.edu/current-students/counseling/test-center. For questions you may call 909-389-3361 or email placement@craftonhills.edu.

Course placement can also be based on coursework in English and mathematics from another college or university, or by a passing score on the appropriate Advanced Placement (AP) exam or Early Assessment Program (EAP) assessment taken as a high school student. If you have prior coursework or a passing score on AP or EAP exams please contact the counseling office at 909-389-3366, counseling@craftonhills.edu or online at www.craftonhills.edu/current-students/counseling/online-counseling to schedule an appointment to review this information and obtain your placement.
