To help mitigate the spread of COVID-19, Santiago Canyon College is closed and courses are taking place through temporary remote instruction
through the end of the Spring semester. At this time, we will not be administering the Chemistry Placement Test. To be considered without taking the placement exam, students must have passed HS Honors Chemistry with a high grade, passed AP Chemistry in HS, and/or received a 2 on the Chemistry AP exam. Please submit the form below and supporting documentation to the Chemistry Deparment Chairs for review. They will make the final determination for your request. If you have any questions about this process, please see a counselor.
