CLC Placement Levels

CLC Placement Levels

Placement Levels represent a group of Placement Measures which indicate a student is ready for coursework at a specific academic level.  All Minnesota State colleges require students to provide evidence of reading, writing and/or math skills for placement into certain college level courses to ensure students have the academic knowledge to succeed.

Students will be provided a Placement Level in Reading, Writing, and/or Math.  Additionally, if English is not a student’s first language they will receive an ESL Reading Placement Level.  Students can view their current Placement Levels through their e-service account.
