Starting Fall 2022, pre-transfer level Math and English courses are no longer offered at SRJC. Learn More.

The Guided Self-Placement (GSP) is an activity that provides an opportunity to choose the course(s) most suitable for you since you are in the best position to evaluate your abilities and circumstances.

Before you begin...

Is the GSP right for you?

The guided self-placement activity is for students who:

  • are dual-enrolled in 9 grade in need of English or math placement, or
  • graduated high school over (10) years ago, or
  • attended high school internationally, or
  • did not/will not complete high school

Did you graduate from a US high school within the last ten years? If so, you can use your high school records for placement into an English and math course instead.

  • a preview of course content
  • an opportunity to practice/study course content
  • information about academic and support services available to you
