Step 3. Administer placement tests (K-8 only)
If you are enrolling a student in grades K-8, administer the K¹² Math and Language Arts placement tests, which will help us to determine the appropriate courses for your student. Your student may start the placement tests while you are gathering the required forms (Step 2).
To administer the placement tests, log in to your Enrollment Dashboard and click “Begin” in the "Tests" column next to your student’s name for detailed instructions.
If your student is enrolling in grades 9-12, no placement tests are required. Instead, you will need to submit an official school transcript to help us determine the appropriate courses for your student.
Step 4. Placement ConferenceAfter you’ve completed steps 1 and 3, a placement specialist will contact you to discuss your student’s course level.
