Cuyamaca College will be closed December 23rd through January 3rd. We will resume normal business hours on Tuesday, January 4th. All emails and requests will be reviewed at that time.
Placement gives recommendations for courses in math, English and English as a second language (ESL). This will determine where you start in the sequence of courses and how long it will take to complete them to get your degree or transfer. A new law in California (AB 705) has made transfer level math and English courses accessible in your first year. For more information on AB 705 please visit here.
All English and math placement will be done through WebAdvisor via a questionnaire. In order to complete this step you will need knowledge of your High School GPA, highest completed High School math course, and intended major of study. ESL students will be also required to fill out the questionnaire, if an appointment is needed you will be referred to do so on your results page.
To access the placement questionnaire:
Students are able to take a chemistry challenge exam to clear them of the prerequisite for entrance into Chem 141. Passing of this exam does not give students credit for the cleared units. Students are able to take this exam only once per term. If you would like to schedule an appointment please email us via cuyamaca.placement@gcccd.edu with your Student ID number and possible availability, the total exam time should take one hour and conducted via zoom. Please be advised that you must have been previously enrolled or currently enrolled in a course to complete the online challenge exam.
