ESL Placement

NEW Students (per AB 705 and AB 1805)

To find your ESL level, or to go directly to English 101, please follow these steps:

  1. ​NEW LAMC students must first apply to the college. After you apply and receive your Student ID Number, please return to Step 2.

  2. Make an appointment for Guided Self-Placement. Contact Professor Jacob Skelton at skeltolj2@lamission.edu or call (818) 293-8795.

    NOTE: The Guided Self-Placement appointment takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes. Students complete a brief biographical survey and interview with Professor Skelton. Students receive English/ESL placement as a result of the survey/interview. No tests! No stress! It's quick and easy!

  3. Contact your Counselor and complete your educational plan.

  4. Register for classes.
