Testing and Placement Services

Placement steps for new students

1. Complete PASS Intake Form
   • Provide student ID
   • High school transcript (unofficial copy)
   • Previous test scores (SAT, ACT, GED, etc.)
   • Previous college credits earned (AP, IB, ACC, other transcripts)
2. A PASS advisor will contact you to review the above placement documents and consider your input and educational goals. The PASS advisor will determine your math and writing placements or decide whether placement tests are necessary to assess skill levels.

Computer placement is not mandatory for all students; it is only required for those planning to enroll in specific computer courses that lists CS-120: Survey of Computing as a prerequisite. You have the option to either take the CS-120 course or complete a placement assessment to determine if you can place out of the requirement.
 
To arrange for the placement assessment, contact Eric McBride at 503-594-3163 or email at eric.mcbride@clackamas.edu

CCC Classroom Testing

• If a CCC student is unable to take an exam with the rest of their class, some instructors may allow the student to test in one of the testing centers. Arrangements must first be made with your instructor.
• Instructors complete and submit the Proctor Request Form and notify the student to make the testing appointment.

Your instructor will provide Testing and Placement Services with your test and proctoring information, so make sure you are clear with your instructor about which CCC campus is most convenient for you.

As soon as the specified testing center has received your test, you may make an appointment to take the test. Be sure to verify the office hours of the testing center where you arranged the test.

Proctored Exams for other Institutions

• Currently accepting proctor requests from other colleges or universities on the Oregon City campus. Please contact the Oregon City Testing Center for more information at testing@clackamas.edu or 503-594-3283.
