Schedule Placement Testing

Placement Standards Entrance Assessments for Initial Credit-Bearing Courses in Mathematics and English

Entering students are eligible for a free initial assessment of skills and competencies in English, mathematics, and reading.

The West Virginia Council for Community and Technical College Education, Title 135 Procedural Rule, Series 21, Freshman Assessment and Placement Standards, establishes uniform procedures for the placement of students in credit-bearing courses in mathematics and English which can be applied toward an undergraduate academic degree.

Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College uses the co-requisite model for students who do not meet admission requirements for entry-level math or English courses. Co-requisite courses are credit-bearing courses that provide aligned academic support for the entry-level, credit-bearing course and are required as a component of the entry-level course. Course content is the same as the traditional credit-bearing course but additional required attendance/ instruction and/or participation in academic support structures is required for successful completion. Co-requisite courses use the same prefix and number as the credit-bearing course followed by a letter E.

A transfer student who has successfully completed remediation at the sending institution shall be deemed to have met the placement standard at the receiving institution.
