Guided Self-Placement
California Assembly Bill (AB) 705 requires Las Positas College to maximize the probability that students will enter and complete transfer-level coursework in English and mathematics within a one-year timeframe and use high school coursework, high school grades, and high school grade point average for placement.
Las Positas College is committed to providing academic and student support services to achieve the goal of maximizing the probability students will enter and complete such coursework.
Instructions on how to complete Guided Self-placement for English, math, and foreign language:
Students are encouraged to log into CLASS-Web to complete the guided self-placement to assist with the development of a student educational plan and determine proper placement into English, mathematics and foreign language courses. Students who plan to earn an associate degree, associate degree for transfer, or plan to transfer to a four-year university are encouraged to complete the guided self-placement process.
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO COMPLETE GUIDED SELF-PLACEMENT:
- Sign on to CLASS-Web and click on the “Six Steps to Success” tab

High school graduates with a cumulative, unweighted grade point average of 2.5 or higher will self-place into transfer-level English Language & Composition (English 1A). High school graduates with a cumulative, unweighted grade point average below 2.5 are encouraged to take transfer-level English Critical Reading & Composition Expanded (English 1AEX) or non-transfer-level/one level below transfer English Integrated Reading & Writing II (English 104).
High school graduates will self-place into the appropriate mathematics class using three criteria: their cumulative, unweighted grade point average, the highest-level mathematics course completed, and the grade received in that course.
Students who plan to enroll concurrently while still in high school including Middle College, non-high school graduates, international students, English as a Second Language (ESL) learners, and students who are unsure of proper English and mathematics placement are encouraged to contact the Las Positas College Assessment Center for assistance.
