Course Placement Recommendations

Since the implementation of CA Assembly Bill 705 (AB705), Foothill College uses multiple measures – high school transcripts and guided self-placement assessments– to make recommendations for taking your first Math, English, ESLL, and Chemistry courses.

For more information about Chemistry 1A Placement, see our Chemistry 1A Placement Survey.
