How do I view my placement information on ctcLink?

On your ctcLink Student Homepage (click to open), click on the Academic Records tile and then click on View My Milestones. Your placement for English and Math is under the Milestone column. The Status column indicates your completion of the class and not the status of your placement.

Do I have to take a placement test?

If you have previously tested and have completed your college-level algebra and English composition, you do not need to test. If you have tested and never taken classes, test scores are valid for two years. You can view your test scores online via ctcLink or email testing@everettcc.edu for more information. If you are still unsure, speaking with an advisor is highly recommended.

I tested at another institution. Will EvCC accept those scores?

EvCC will generally accept test scores from another institution as long as they test was taken in the last two years. EvCC administers the Accuplacer test but will review scores for Asset. Be aware that EvCC will make a determination of placement based on our scoring guidelines, so what one school may have scored as placement in a particular class may not be the same at EvCC.

I took classes many years ago and have now decided to finish my degree. Do credits expire?

While typically credits do not expire, certain programs require students to complete credits within a window of time. Check with your advisor for the correct determination. Don't forget to check about other options for prior learning assessment, too!

I began at EvCC and transferred to another school. Will EvCC accept the classes I completed at my other school?

EvCC offers transfer credit evaluation for students who have previously attended or are currently registered for classes at EvCC.  An advisor will be able to look at your unofficial transcript and tell you with a reasonable amount of certainty what classes will apply to your designated degree or certificate goals. However, EvCC will need an official transcript in order to complete an official evaluation. Official transcripts should be submitted to the office of Enrollment Services with the proper form.
