Guided Self Placement
WVNCC has entry and college-level English and Math courses. Our guided self-placement process helps students decide what level of course they are prepared to take along with the type of additional academic support they might need. Academic Advisors are available in the Action Center on each campus to help guide you through the process. You can contact the Action Center staff at 304-214-8810 or by emailing advising@wvncc.edu.
Step 1: Review your past academic experiences
Previous academic experiences include items such as high school grades, high school GPA, ACT/SAT scores, and high school equivalency test scores can be compared to the Placement Score Tables to determine what level of English and/or Math courses a student is prepared to take.
Step 2: Check out our course guides
Course guides have been developed by instructors to help students understand what is involved in each course. Students can review these guides and complete the included exercises to evaluate how prepared they are to take a specific course. Take a look at the course guides below to explore what's covered in each class and try out the practice exercises.
Step 3: Consider your options
WVNCC offers four types of courses, including preliminary courses, supplemental courses, courses with an embedded tutor, and courses with pre-arranged tutoring. Students can review the details of each of these types of courses and determine which is best for them based on their preparedness. Review the practice questions for each course to see which one best matches your academic level and where you feel most comfortable with your current knowledge.
