ESL Placement

All students who want to enroll in our ESL program MUST complete the ESL Guided Placement process before registering for any ESL or NCE course. 

Students with a goal of a degree or transfer who are seeking ESL instruction have a right to access for-credit academic ESL courses.


ESL Guided Placement Process 

The placement process will take about 10 minutes.  First, you will watch a short video explaining the process.  You will think about what you can do now in English in your reading, writing, listening, and speaking.  Then you will place yourself in the appropriate course(s) in our ESL program.   

  1. Watch the ESL Welcome Video. You may watch in English or in your native language.
  2. Complete the ESL Guided Placement in My Mission Portal. You will need to be signed in to the Portal.
  3. Receive your placement results immediately.
