Can I self-place into Math and English courses?

Yes, you can! As of January 1, 2018, students may bypass developmental-level prerequisites and place themselves into college-level math and English: "a community college district or community college may use self-reported high school information or guided placement, including self-placement for students" (AB 705, 2017, Sec. 2D). Students enrolling under this open placement model may wish to receive guidance to maximize their likelihood of succeeding in college-level (non-developmental) classes in the shortest time possible.

Students can complete the Coastline English and math Guided Self-Placement form by email. Include full name and Coastline student ID number. Contact us at counselingdept@coastline.edu for the form.
