Assessment for Placement
Assessment for Placement
17勛圖's placement process has changed to meet our diverse student community. If you require a placement for Math, English, ESLL, or Chemistry you will be assessed based on multiple measures: U.S. high school transcript information or guided self-placement.
- Based on high school GPA information provided, student placements have already been calculated. Students may view their placements in their MyPortal account when they receive their student ID number.
- If high school GPA information was not provided or student did not attend high school, please email fhtesting@fhda.edu to complete guided self-placement.
To maximize student time at 17勛圖, all students are eligible to access transfer-level English composition, credit ESLL courses, and transfer level math (statistics, precalculus, etc.) regardless of your educational background or native language. If students require additional support, 17勛圖 offers various corequisite support courses for English and math.
