Guided Self-Placement
Guided Self-Placement is a tool that helps measure your confidence levels in English and math so you can make informed decisions about the English and math courses to take at Macomb Community College.
Once you have completed your guided self-placement, you can meet with an Academic Advisor or Counselor to discuss course recommendations with you to make a decision that takes your personal experiences and educational goals into account. New students are assigned Guided Self-Placement within their Admission Account after their application has been processed.
