Because South Suburban College wants you to be successful in your course work, you are required to take the Placement test in READING, ENGLISH and MATHEMATICS to ensure proper placement into appropriate courses for your skill level.

Exemptions from the Placement Plan

• If you have completed a college degree and have verification.
• If you have taken a Placement test within 24 months at another college (e.g., Prairie State or Moraine Valley Community College) and provide a Student Advising Report for SSC’s review.
• If you have transfer credit with a “C” grade or better in English, reading, and mathematics verified by transcripts or grade reports. (If you transfer credits for only ENGLISH or only MATHEMATICS, you may see a counselor to receive a Partial Testing Permit to allow you to test in one or two areas).
  

SEE A COUNSELOR IF YOU BELIEVE YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR AN EXEMPTION.

Testing sessions will be held according to the schedules listed below. Students must complete a mandatory advising session by signing up for a group advising session upon completion of the test. Testing is held in Room 2266. Students should contact the Testing Center at extension 2495 if they require additional information. Students should also bring in a calculator.
