Good news!
With the AB 705 legislation, students are not required to take a test to enroll in math, English, or ESL classes at College of Marin. California Community Colleges use high school GPA and self-placement to help students select their math, English and ESL classes. The best way to select the right math, English or ESL class is to see a counselor. A counselor will help you determine the best choice for your individualized educational goal.

ESL Placement Process
Students with a U.S. high school diploma or the U.S. equivalent have the right to be placed through the English Placement Process even if they have taken ELL classes during high school in the U.S.
For ESL placement, select one or more of these options:
- Chancellor's Office approved CELSA test
- ESL Self-Placement Tool. You need your M00# to use the tool.
- Counselor and/or Instructor recommendation
