Is placement testing required?
Yes. According to board policy 4.1.2.1, students are required to complete placement testing in reading, writing, math, computer skills and/or other areas. Test results will be used to determine a student’s eligibility for courses with prerequisites and/or placement in developmental courses (courses numbered 087 through 098). Placement testing is available on campus in the Testing Center, Room W124, and at Richland’s extension centers. Students will need to meet with an advisor to obtain a testing referral form that will state the specific tests needed. See the Testing Center page for further information.
