Here are your next steps:
Step 1: Take your English & Math Placement Tests
New Green River College students take two placement tests: the College Success Reading Assessment (English)* and the WAMAP (Math). You can take these tests online from your home. It is important to complete both tests as soon as possible because you cannot register for classes until you have completed the tests.
Please note! If you submitted a TOEFL or IELTS score, you do NOT need to take the English placement test.
Go to Placement Test Instructions & Access and complete the tests.
Testing is a multi-step process, and many new students have questions about it. We are happy to help!
Use the live chat to connect with our advisors or email us your question at ipadvising@greenriver.edu.
You can retake the tests multiple times, and only your highest score will be recorded. Your scores on these tests do not impact your grades - this is for class placement only.
Step 2: Attend both Virtual and In-Person Orientation

We look forward to seeing you on campus soon!
