PLACEMENT 

The goal of placement is to ensure that you start in college English and Math courses that match your skills, needs, and goals. It’s important to start the first phase of your college pathway with classes that contribute to your degree or certificate program and are the best next step based on your current English and math skills. There are several ways you can demonstrate your skills and get your English and Math placement. See the table below for more information. 

Need help with the placement process? 

• If you are a first-time college student and new to Cascadia, please contact admissions@cascadia.edu.
• If you are a transfer student or continuing student, please contact advising@cascadia.edu.

Once you have completed English and Math placement, an advisor will help you plan your classes. (New college students will work with an advisor in CORE. Students transferring to Cascadia from another college should schedule an appointment with an academic advisor.)
