What if I tested at Another College?

If you tested within the last two years in English, last year in Math, or anytime in Reading, bring official copies of placement test results to the Counseling Center (D-106) at Santiago Canyon College as soon as possible to determine whether it is necessary to complete testing at SCC or whether your eligibility can be verified and you can be cleared for registration.  Placement test information from other colleges must include: your name, name of the test(s), the raw score(s), and test date(s).
