Placement
With the passage of AB 705, there are now several different ways for students to receive their math and English placements.
To view your placements online:
- Log in to eServices.
- Click on Academic Records.
- Click on Placements.
If you encounter a “requisites not met” error message when attempting to enroll in any CRC course, please complete a Placement Office Other Questions Form for additional assistance or you may contact the Admissions and Records office at admissions@crc.losrios.edu.
Are your placements expired? Please email the Placement Office at crc-placement@crc.losrios.edu for additional assistance.
Using High School Records for Placement
You will be automatically placed into English and math classes if you:
- Graduated from a US high school within the last ten years
- Included all of the requested information about your high school records on your college application
You can view your placement results in your eServices account. From your eServices dashboard, click on the Academic Records tile, then Placements.
Submit Your High School Records for Placement
If you graduated from a US high school within the last ten years, but you did not report your high school information on your application, then you can email your unofficial high school transcripts to CRC's Placement Office at crc-placement@crc.losrios.edu to receive your English and math course placements. Alternatively, you can drop off your transcripts to the Welcome Center in the College Center building at the main campus.
Use College Records for Placement
If you attended another college (outside of Los Rios), then you can provide college transcripts showing that you passed certain classes. Additional forms may be necessary depending on the college and course.
Please review the pre-approved course lists:
Only pre-approved courses/prerequisite forms can be emailed to Admissions. Math and English Challenges go to the respective email addresses listed below.
If your course is included on the pre-approved list, please email the Admissions and Records Office to admissions@crc.losrios.edu with the appropriate Math Clearance Challenge Form or the English Prerequisite Clearance/Challenge Form. Admissions and Records staff will assist you with getting the prerequisite cleared.
If you do not see your non-Los Rios Math course listed, you will need to challenge the prerequisite by emailing a completed Math Clearance Challenge Form to CRC-MathPrereq@crc.losrios.edu.
If you do not see your non-Los Rios English course listed, you will need to challenge the prerequisite by emailing a completed English Clearance Challenge Form to lealc@crc.losrios.edu.
Use Guided Self-Placement
If you have been out of high school for more than 10 years, have foreign high school transcripts or left high school without graduating, then you are eligible to utilize the guided self-placement process to determine which English and math courses to take. Complete the questions under Missing Math or English Placements? Expired Placements? on our Placement Process page.
After completing guided self-placement, your placements will be updated in our enrollment system (eServices) the following day.
For questions, please email the Placement Office at crc-placement@crc.losrios.edu or call (916) 691-7332.
Placement for Dual Enrollment Students
As part of the Dual Enrollment approval process, you will submit your current unofficial high school transcript with your Special Admit Form. If you plan to enroll in a math class, English class, or a class which has an English or math prerequisite, Admissions and Records will process your High School information and inform you of the outcome. You can also submit your transcript or AP scores to Admissions and Records at a later time to fulfill the prerequisite. Email your unofficial high school transcript to admissions@crc.losrios.edu.
English as a Second Language (ESL) Placement Process
If you are still learning English, then you can complete the ESL Guided Self-Placement Process online, which will place you in ESL classes that match your skill level. Your placements will immediately appear on the screen when you complete the process. Allow 24 hours for those placements to post to your eServices account. See the ESL Placement page for additional information.
Acceptance of Other Test Results
CRC accepts assessment results from other Los Rios Colleges (American River College, Folsom Lake College, and Sacramento City College). We do not accept results from any other colleges and we do not accept EAP test results, SAT scores, or ACT scores.
CRC does grant credit towards its degrees for other successfully completed exams and programs, such as Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and others. See Alternative Credit/Study Options for more information.
Advanced Placement (AP) Tests (CEEB)
Students enrolling at Cosumnes River College may be awarded units of credit for Advanced Placement examinations passed with a 3, 4, or 5. Refer to the AP Chart in the online catalog for information on the specific course credit awarded and General Education areas covered.
- Submitting scores to meet a course prerequisite? Email your unofficial scores to admissions@crc.losrios.edu.
- Want credit for a course? Make a counseling appointment so your unofficial scores can be evaluated.
Note: Please do not submit official scores to the Admissions and Records Office unless advised to do so by a CRC counselor. Credits/units earned are posted on the transcript as "Pass" ("P") - letter grades are not awarded. Credit may not be earned for courses in which duplicate credit has already been awarded by way of Advanced Placement examinations.
