  • Credit ESL Guided Self-Placement

    The Credit ESL Guided Self-Placement will give you insight into what type of reading and writing assignments you can expect in our ESL courses at SRJC. Through self-evaluation, watching ESL videos, and reading sample prompts, you will be able to decide which ESL course may be appropriate for your level of experience.

    Upon completion of this activity, you will be allowed to enroll in the ESL level that is best for you. ESL courses begin at the intermediate level (ESL 371) and go all the way through transfer-level composition (ESL 10, equivalent to English 1A).

    Next Steps

    I completed the ESL Guided Self-Placement, but I do not see my results.

    Within 24 hours after completing the ESL Guided Self-Placement, you can view the level you selected in your Student Portal. If you do not see your ESL placement result in your Student Portal after 24 hours, please contact Assessment Services at (707) 527-4661, Santa Rosa Campus or (707) 778-3908, Petaluma Campus.

    When can I register for classes?
