Placement Testing Information
Placement assessments are provided online.
Placement Testing Instructions
To receive placement assessment instructions, email your name and YVC Student ID Number to placement@yvcc.edu.
- Your YVC Student ID Number can be found in your Welcome Letter/Email after you applied to YVC. You must have completed the Admission process before you take the assessments.
- YVC staff will respond to you within two business days with directions for accessing the online assessments.
- Because of the type of assessments we use, we do not have study guides, and studying prior to the assessments is not necessary. The assessments are based on your past academic experience and your own assessment of your knowledge. They are not traditional skills tests – you will not be editing essays or solving math problems.
Additional Information
- Complete Running Start Admission Application online. You must upload a copy of your high school transcript to the application.
- Running Start will respond to you by email (runningstart@yvcc.edu) within two business days with directions for accessing the online assessments tools.
