The LCC Math Placement process has changed! Please walk into our Testing & Proctoring office or Zoom room during Drop-In hours to complete the new placement, or give us a call at 360-442-2360 for more information. Please ignore any information about the previous Math Placement Test or related preparation, as we are currently updating the web pages about Placement at LCC. Thank you for your patience during this transition.
Placement determines which Math and English level students should start with at LCC,
and is required before a student's first advising appointment is scheduled. See below
